Autumn's Tears

leaf

"Listen …
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break free from the trees
And fall"
. ~Adelaide Crapsey, 1878-1914, November Night


And autumn bids a sad farewell, her tears glittering on the fallen leaves like jewels.

To all my U.S. friends, I'm wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving week filled with good food and the love of friends and family!

  7. Sherri, what a beautiful image today. I love water drops in photos and the whole shot is fabulous with the incredible colour and texture of the leaf, the worn painted wood, etc. Very nice job!

  8. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Sherry!

    The leaves here seemed to hang around longer than I can recall. I still saw a few gorgeous reds and yellows today, but the autumn days are surely short.
