The essence of autumn
The slow draining of life from a leaf, until it dries and falls. Great symbol of how life hides during winter to emerge again in spring. These are on a tree I planted in our yard 10 years ago.

There are very few trees in this part of the world that display red in the fall. That's beautiful, I love the veining.

I agree, that’s beautiful, the changing season prompts me to try a rhymed response.
As the leaves rustle melodies so sweet
Feel nature’s rich carpet warm under your feet
Earth now responds to Mother Nature’s call
Winter hibernations till after the fall
Grey skies above from a rich blue hue
Earthly inhabitants bid summer fond adieu
Colours of gold to grey then white
Natures new season in the fading daylight

Gorgeous! I LOVE this time of year. And we're thinking alike, Gary. I posted pix of our trip to Amish country to hunt for pumpkins.
What a gorgeous picture. It would make a wonderful watercolor painting.
This is my favorite time of the year.
Cheers,
Josie
P.S. I deleted my boring-little-blog (arrgghhh) but I have a new one now.

Lindsay, what beautiful verse ... sounds like you have a Canadian spirit within you.
YEs Josie, if only I could paint.

The colours are lovely. And you can really see the colours draining away. Good picture Gary! Thanks for sharing.
ah what a photo.
the earth is still taking her great breath in before resting, drawing in all her energy deep within herself till solstice and it is time to breathe out again.
