Autumn was short-lived and intense this year.
But last weekend I had an amazing experience.
In the distance, I saw a sunny bower of branches
And a shower of leaves dancing in the wind as they fell to the ground.
I stood under those trees and listened.
The leaves danced and twirled and fluttered down on me,
Sounding like gentle rain as they came to rest on hair, ground and an icy bench.
I like to look for the new beginnings in these ends.
Don’t leaf without visiting: Our World.

I love this time of year… Our leaves are mostly all DOWN now –and we are busy raking/blowing them up!!!!! Since we have so many shade trees in our yard, blowing/raking/mowing leaves is a fulltime job for sure!!!!! BUT–it’s great exercise and I enjoy it. I love hearing the crunch of leaves when I walk on them!!!!! OH—Fall is just awesome!!!! Great photos, Fiona.

It’s a beautiful time of year, isn’t it? Fall would be my favorite- especially because of the beautiful pictures you can take that feature gold and red leaf canopies- if it weren’t for winter. I still appreciate it though- every minute- maybe especially because of the impending change in temps. Cheers! Danette
