Color range on tree leaves in Autumn is like nature's swag. These are "Swag Times".
Fleeting
Autumn's a funny season. It's always remembered for the changing colors of natures garments. But that is, in reality only a short part of Autumn. This week, the first week of November, about one week after this photo was taken, the leaves are almost 100% down (gone, kaput). Autumn starts in September when leaves are still green and by the second week of October the change in leaf color escalates and you blink and it's over. The rest of Autumn (the majority) is marked by dark skies, rainy (or snowy) weather and bare trees. I suppose that's what make Autumn colors so special - the brevity. It's temporary status. Trying to hold on to it is like trying to hold water in your hand. It slips away of it's own accord, in it's own time and is gone. Kinda like life.
sunday verses #11
4 haiku for the end of Autumn. (12/01/21) Leaves begin their fall. Colors changing while you watch autumn's rich pageant. (11/27/19) Cold, dark, windy night; trees shudder; dead leaves unchained make fierce their escape (12/01/21) Distant in the dark. Sweet sounds the soft piano. Music in the night. (12/01/21) Chill'd, damp autumn night. Sleepless bare trees sway slowly. Unwrapp'd, expos'd heart.
With the Winter Solstice right around the corner. I thought I’d post these remaining Autumn Photos (taken this year)
sunday verses #6
POEM FOR LATE AUTUMN (*composition date unknown most likely sometime between 2007-2009)
Skeletal beauty Parade of bones Rooted in mire Grasping heaven A bridge between divine and profane Waiting for winters blanket Redemption in white Covering past sins Peace and rest in a season of sleep *while I don't remember when this was written I do know it was inspired by a line "snow falling, falling like forgiveness from the sky" in the song "Darling Christmas is Coming" by Over The Rhine from the album SNOW ANGELS (2006) https://youtu.be/IinpwBPwRZI
happy november
Hello and happy November. Todays image was just taken this past Saturday 10/30/2021. To me it is a quintessential Autumn shot with color, texture and the theme of breaking down - the end of life. Enjoy.
different tones – there’s a chill in the air
foggy lens
I’ve never posted these three before because I thought my fogged up camera lens ruined them. However, I might have been wrong. 11 years after I took these photos I really like the mood the fogged lens creates. Enjoy.
tint tinabulum?
I can’t tell which one I would like best to see in print. I really love the sepia because it has it’s own special vintage feeling like a scene from primordial times. However I also really love the blue tint because to me it lends itself more to the frosty chill of the morning. decisions decisions.
