The name -- of it -- is "Autumn" --
The hue -- of it -- is Blood --
An Artery -- upon the Hill --
A Vein -- along the Road --
Great Globules -- in the Alleys --
And Oh, the Shower of Stain --
When Winds -- upset the Basin --
And spill the Scarlet Rain --
It sprinkles Bonnets -- far below --
It gathers ruddy Pools --
Then -- eddies like a Rose -- away --
Upon Vermilion Wheels --
By Emily Dickinson

Ah, Birdman, Emily and a walk in the woods over a leaf-covered wooden bridge. It doesn't get much better than this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot! Oh how I long for that walk right now.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a beautiful Autumn image! I can feel the silence and wouldn't attempt to disturb the leaf carpet..
ReplyDeleteThat is a great fall picture. Great one
