Getting Back to Photos . . .

and hoping Fall will inspire me.

On today's menu.

Each leaf plays a note in the symphony of Autumn

---Pepper Blair

Don’t talk to me of solemn days 

    In autumn’s time of splendor, 

Because the sun shows fewer rays, 

    And these grow slant and slender.

Why, it’s the climax of the year,— 

    The highest time of living!— 

Till naturally its bursting cheer 

    Just melts into thanksgiving.

---Paul Laurence Dunbar

“How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.”

John Burroughs
