A Lovely Fall

Leaves

by Elsie N. Brady

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Quiet Stuff

Walkabout

Oh November days in North Carolina... Just walking around the neighborhood brings out many a pretty sight. As well as handsome young men who wait around quietly to have their photos taken. The knife, I believe, was leftover from Halloween. At least I think it was.

Let It Snow!

These shots were taken in Connecticut about a week before Christmas. The second one was taken from the passenger seat of the car, hence the edge of the rear view mirror. Snow is good!

No caption necessary. I hope.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Fall is just barely here in New England, but pumpkins are aplenty! On the search for a good Connecticut farm stand shot for a Self-Promo, I drove by these carts of pumpkins several times within 24 hours. By some miracle the sun came out for a few minutes while I was there and I was able to grab a couple shots that really showed the beautiful orange color of these pumpkins. This shot is just natural light and lucky timing.
