Sunshine finds it way through the trees to pattern the needle-padded ground... turning it into a dance of darkness and light Birds are holding court in the pine trees above Something in the breeze speaking to them of autumn and the coming of the cold and the time of leaving ...going to their summer world...leaving winter behind
The bittersweet vine twines all around The sumac is bursting scarlet plumes The maples are becoming tinged with scarlet and the oaks are cast in shades of bronze Gentian violet is rearing its purple head and in the fields next to them goldenrods lean Nature’s colors unfurled...heralding its sleep
