"Even if something is left undone, everyone must take time to sit still and watch the leaves turn."
~ Elizabeth Lawrence
LEAF ABSTRACT
"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."
~ Elsie N. Brady, Leaves

Querida Joey, this is my favorite time of year.
Trees are rapidly losing their leaves. But I'm not worried. As long as I have your wonderful photos to provide me with a daily dose of our state's most dramatic color wheel, I'll be happy.
I look in awe at your wonderful art and sighs.
And thank you, dear Helen. May November treat us well!
Fun friend, Kala, thank you. The last is at the lake ... true November glory!
Indeed Michigan blessed, dear Marysol. Wish you lived near and we could not only cook and photograph together but play in the leaves :)
Thank you, Karin. How kind!
Always so kind, imac. Thank you fun sharing friend :)
Aw, too soon all must come to an end, dear Plant Postings, but it's the circle of life for sure. Thank you. November joy!
Aw Clare, you have so much beauty/life surrounding you too! Thank you for your kind words. We are blessed to be sharing friends. Your life/knowledge amazes me!
My only complaint about fall is it doesn't last long enough. But your photos have captured it perfectly!
Thank you Sweetbay ... you are a dear!
Ah Rose, thank you ... as I write, ours too are almost gone. But it's been an awesome November so far and for that we are indeed blessed. Happy Thanksgiving :)
Thank you, dear Kathryn. Whether behind the lens, in the garden, or kitchen, it's a joy to create. All feed my soul :)
