Hello you guys! It’s Brynne from The Gathered Home and I’m back with November’s collection of gorgeous free vintage nature images for you guys! (See October’s vintage medical image collection here.)
I was inspired by the thought of taking a nature hike in a quiet autumn landscape (obviously far away from my balmy Texas fall weather)- colorful leaves, apple orchards, golden fields, picking pumpkins, finding feathers, spotting wild forest friends…
There may be an image or two that stretches the theme slightly, but they all have the perfect fall colors, so let’s pretend!

I swear I’ve seen one or two similar ones to what my great grandmother used to have in her home. I adored her and her home so I’m incredibly attached to anything resembling her home. Thanks for pulling together this collection, Brynne!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the roundup, Corinna!
