Zen-sational

Autumn is a time of exuberant energy —

It’s quite zensational, in fact.

Zen-sational

The golden coins of leaves

Hang like happy suns in the trees;

Golden coins

The light in the woods

Is magical.

Everywhere you go,

You can see flying leaves

(Those black dots aren’t dirt, they are leaves!)

And beautiful views.

Golden view

And the best thing about autumn

Is that you’re never too old

To frolic in the leaves.

  7. Awww beautiful images, Fiona. It looks like Ruby was just made for autumn gold.. but I suspect I’ll say that about her and winter, spring and summer also.

  11. Ruby is meditating and thinking deep thoughts. (No, wait, I think it is you thinking deeply.). She is thinking about retrieving her tennis ball. Each of you making the most of your beautiful golden Autumn days!

  12. I just read a poem, in which the first line was ”This place of edges’. These shots and your words feel like kindred spirits to that opening line of that poem.

  13. A golden dog among golden leaves, it doesn’t get much better than that. I also looked at your previous posts and they are so beautiful. I am glad you like to take pictures of nature in the old country.

  14. Ruby’s having a ball … literally … and I feel something magical inside when autumn leaves float through the air. There’s simply nothing else in the world like it. I love this splendid season. xoxo to you Fiona
