Greetings—

I bid them all farewell
Desolate and lone
I sometimes wonder if it’s really true
That some forsake these treasures
For those that are false
And fleeting.

Greetings—

Part ten of my series, “The Autumnal Purity,” captured at the Openlands Lakeshore Preserve. Once again we’re looking almost right into the middle of Hutchinson Ravine. Maybe come Spring I’ll muster up enough courage to actually go down into the ravine’s … the slope’s are very steep and, as it was my first time here, I didn’t want to chance it.

Greetings—

This is the Maple tree in our front yard, just outside the front porch. As you can see there’s also a street light very close to our house. The tree provides some very nice blockage of this light during its leafy months. From around November through May … not so much. The light did, however, provide some very nice back-lighting for what was to become a scene that we won’t be able to gaze upon for a few months. Taken on October 24 it was only two days later that damn near every leaf was gone. And thus, Winter begins to take hold.

Greetings~

A very remarkable history this is
They threw a stone, you threw a stone
To watch the blue wave curl and break
Doubtless, I remember still
That year
As we walked the grass
And freedom withered as the Autumn leaves…
