Autumn Marriage, Autumn Love

Autumn Marriage, Autumn Love

~Richard Hemenway~
This year the Fall has seemed to linger long
Upon the earth and in the balmy air,
Like the singer who so loves their song
That they sing on though there be none to share.


The leaves are changing slow in subtle tints,
The grass is in no hurry to turn brown,
The night air whispers just the smallest hints
That we will soon be seeking wool and down.


So should we make our time together last
Having less than most husbands and wives:
Celebrating, after mistakes done and past,
Our marriage in the autumn of our lives.


Though every Season must, in time, give way,
We'll reap a long Love's Harvest while we may.

Fall is here

It finally feels like Fall to me. There's a crisp coolness in the air and it's chilly in the morning and after the sun goes down. I'm happy to have jeans & boots in my closet and warm tea & coffee in my kitchen. I actually wore a coat into work today.
Did I mention the trees are ablaze with color?

Beautiful rusty reds, golden yellows, mixed in with hunter greens.

I just love watching the foliage change colors. My wish is that I were more surrounded by nature's beauty.

These 3 colored trees are at the light near our apartment complex. I think I'm going to play around with the pic in Lightroom and then blow it up and hang it in our apartment. I also got pics of each tree separately, and I feel like the grouping could be so pretty and autumn-y.

All pics are taken by me and have not been edited...yet.
