When Autumn Arrives
Autumn Photos
Autumn has arrived. Leaves on the pavements tell it to us.
Even some fallen leaves are also beautiful. Colourful.
And some are waiting to fall.
Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay. – Robert Browning
“Catch the spirit of fall with every golden leaf that falls!”
“Fall leaves us in awe with its colourful magic!”
Celebrate Autumn
We can see beauty everywhere. Even in the fallen leaves of Autumn.
The birds have flown their summer skies to the south,
And the flower-money is drying in the banks of bent grass
Which the bumble bee has abandoned. We wait for a winter lion,
Body of ice-crystals and sombrero of dead leaves.
A month ago, from the salt engines of the sea,
A machinery of early storms rolled toward the holiday houses
Where summer still dozed in the pool-side chairs, sipping
An aging whiskey of distances and departures.
Now the long freight of autumn goes smoking out of the land.
My possibles are all packed up, but still I do not leave.
I am happy enough here, where Dakota drifts wild in the universe,
Where the prairie is starting to shake in the surf of the winter dark.
(Beyond The Red River – Thomas McGrath )

Beautiful photos Vivek
loved the poetry accompanying the photos-much like a symphony orchestra
Cycle of Season – natures ways of telling us the OLD has to shed to make place for NEW.
