Weekend Reflections: Heads Up

Overcome by the weight of the morning frost, leaves fell gently around me into the yard and pond. The serenity was interspersed with horse chestnuts breaking loose and crashing down through the branches.

Where Summer Feet Stepped

the ground flutters orange and yellow
the sweet, musky scent of finished lives
rising from the leaves

Take a Hike!

It's good for you.

September Theme Day: Perspective

It's almost fall-- time for a new perspective.

Let me take the opportunity, on this first day of September, to share one of my favorite songs.

There are lots of great versions out there, but if you ask me, no one can 

compare to the lovely Sarah Vaughan.

Are You Tired of Autumn Leaf Pictures Yet?

I'm not!

Death Above, Death Below

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me.
The Carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality
~Emily Dickinson

Whee!

Let's frolic through the fall leaves!

Fall Colors

Memorial park shows off some rare fall color.

Fire and Ice

Leaves glow with the fire of dawn,

hovering over the frosted lawn.

Leaves Aglow...

...in the evening light.

Claret

sunlight warms claret

leaves, the burgundy scent

filling senses with sweetness
