Floating in mist
The first cool morning:
Autumn mist is golden
As it caresses trees
And floats over the lone dog walker.
(All photos snapped with my mobile phone.)

Curtains of light
Late August is a beautiful time of year
For light.
Fields of gold glow in the early morning;
Curtains of light float to the ground;
And diamond drops glitter
In the deliciously chilly air.

Deer gazing
Autumn is a good time for the deer:
One minute you only see fields,
And the next minute, the deer are there.
Their dance is perfectly synchronized:
Eyes front …
Eyes right
(And look surprised).
Exit left
And enjoy the golden light of autumn.

Swan lake – with mist
A chilly morning dawned
Bringing out the colours of the leaves
And the swans.
They appeared out of the mist
Like feathered ships.
The sun bursting through the trees
Placed stripes of light on the swan’s neck.
Closer and closer the swan sailed
Beautiful in the lilac dawn.
For more swan songs, please go to: Our World.
The sentinel
A strange pink glow
Beckoned me out into the storm.
There on the rickety jetty,
Was a lone goose
Staring out into the sunset.
It was a moment full of poignancy and beauty.
Just him and me
And the whisper of autumn.

Be-dewed
Autumn went by in the blink of an eye,
But before it disappeared, it left some dewy gifts:
Yellow suns,
A spent sunflower
Adorned with a spider’s web,
A glorious necklace of dewdrops
On soft petals,
Hot pink
Rainy flowers,
And a dreamy
Pink tutu.

Zen-sational
Autumn is a time of exuberant energy —
It’s quite zensational, in fact.
The golden coins of leaves
Hang like happy suns in the trees;
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.
And the best thing about autumn
Is that you’re never too old
To frolic in the leaves.
For more joy, please visit: Our World.
Bedazzling
Autumn is a glowing time of year:
When trees glow
And leaves catch fire.
It’s a joyful time
Of dewy play
And swans
Showing off their families on the local lake.
And, if you’re lucky,
You can catch frosted jewels
Among the leaves.
For more glowing pictures, please visit: Our World.
A new dawn
It’s a new day, a new season.
The rising sun reminds me of the beauty in the world.
Satin reflections on the lake
Bring a sense of calm;
And my jetty always has the most
Beautiful views.

Into Impressionism
Late September sunsets
Are when cloud rainbows reflect in water
And autumn dances in
Wearing lilac veils.
