AUTUMN REVERIE


The leaves are down, crunching and crackling beneath my feet. A few stragglers remain on the maples, golden dancers on bare branches, the sun shining through their translucence. Life and death are intertwined, as the dying leaves become the organic detritus that will nurture future growth. Even one leaf is the embodiment of beauty; a transient beauty to enjoy, cherish and appreciate. Have a good TUESDAY.

Tremendously elegant wording. I am instantly envisioning a crisp Autumn day in a north-eastern forest - enjoying nature and all the sensations it has to offer. A masterful description of my favorite time of the year. Well done.

NATURE POTPOURRI Fall is a wondrous time for exploring nature. With barren trees, hidden features become apparent and bird species are more visible. Every day as I walk and explore, I find new nature gems. Even the same route yields discoveries. The more I train my eye to 'really see', the more I 'see', just as ideas generate more ideas.
