This haiku poem/photo has been consistently at the top of my stats, for the past couple of weeks. There must be quite a few people out there, waiting for snow. I know I am! We’ve just had a sprinkle and quick meltdown, so far.
Hope you enjoy the encore!
Here’s the link to the original post, [...]

So often, Autumn is all about color.
I thought it might be interesting to take some time to focus on the shapes and more subtle shadings of Autumn instead, viewing them in black and white.
I hope you enjoy my latest “stroll” through Fall.
PS: On a completely different note, if the cold has reached [...]

late blooming roses
shades of blue. berries for birds, still plentiful
hearty marigolds, hold their own
delicate pinks
lush greens, still to be seen
the underbrush, alive with color
brilliant reds, slowly emerge
swaying in the breeze…
glistening cobwebs
mountain ash, in full glory
steps to the lake. secret revealed
summer bids
farewell with
autumn’s colorful
return!

I also am looking forward to sharing views of your [...]

As the earth prepares for winter.
The pines,
bid farewell
to summer
and
brilliant green needles.
Slowly, they dry and whither.
Parched boughs of softly muted shades.
Resting on the chilled, brown soil.
Their thirst,
will remain unquenched.
Until we joyfully greet,
next spring.

We spent several hours out and about, on Labour Day; walking for miles, taking photos and breathing in the fresh (almost) Autumn air.
My favorite season is on the way!
I hope you enjoy the first “duet” of several haiku/photos that I will be sharing, with this theme.
Summer may be ending but the magic of [...]
