Red Leaves
As I continue sifting through unblogged photographs from last fall, I am gobsmacked by how much I love to be in nature, and how much effort I take to be in it, while in the city. I`ll be moving out of it ... one day!

ReplyDeletegobsmacked...i love that word!
It brings to mind one of your colour-themed blog posts. I love those.
ReplyDeleteNight-Time in Mid-Fall by Thomas Hardy
ReplyDeleteIt is a storm-strid night, winds footing swift
through the blind profound;
I know the happenings from their sound;
Leaves totter down still green, and spin and drift;
The tree-trunks rock to their roots, which wrench and lift
The loam where they run onward underground.
The streams are muddy and swollen; eels migrate to a new abode;
Even cross, 'tis said, the turnpike-road;
(Men's feet have felt their crawl, home-coming late):
The westward fronts of the towers are saturate,
Church-timbers crack, and witches ride abroad.
My favourite poem by Mr. Hardy. It inspired my very loud piece for 11 solo strings ... storm-strid night ....
You have an excellent camera and an excellent eye, Princess.
ReplyDeleteMany books on my shelf have red leaves flattened in them.
Yes, I still collect them. 8^)
Beautiful photos, G.
Dr. S: Wonderful! THank you, and thanks Mr. H.
ReplyDeletePhil: I do too, Phil. :) And thanks.
Maples surely produce the most stunning foliage display in autumn. Lovely images, hope all is well in your part of the world.;)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a nice weekend.

All is plodding along this side of the ocean... sending hugs and love to you on yours!
