Autumn is a beautiful time of year. The trees are changing from their summer clothes and donning a variety of autumn fall colors. Beautiful crimsons, golden yellows, mustards and cadmium, verdant grassy greens fading to blue and purple with each mornings dew; a feast for our eyes to witness before the impending winter snows. It is a memory for me as I don’t experience those changes here in my beloved Florida. Still a walk near the shore at the beach on a balmy windy day with peaceful ocean sounds has replaced those fall days left behind.
“Autumn: a will I must obey”
The green, green grass of Summer
has changed to shades of brown,
And the smiling face of Autumn
Looks like a circus clown.
Crimson leaves and purple sunsets
too soon will fade away,
For nature and the seasons
know a Will they must obey.
Grass isn’t green forever,
and nothing gold can stay,
But Springtime follows winter
When the snows melts away.

A beautiful poem, Issy. I was so happy to see some fall foliage on my visit to NJ last week. I do love the mild Florida weather though. 🙂

Yes, we are having mild weather. I’ll have to plan a short day trip up towards Gainesville or Tallahassee for fall colors.

Beautiful poem. We can’t wait till Summer comes again, Isadora. We love the colours of Autumn, but not the rains and storms, and we skip winter 😉 Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 ❤

I’ll bet it’s fun to roll around in the colored leaves when they fall on the ground. I like summer too. We don’t have winter so I can enjoy summer for months. ~~~~ : – ) ❤

Thank you so much, Gilly, it means a lot to me. I must do more writing. I’ve been obsessed with perfecting my photography that writing has taken a back seat. I hope to do more writing soon. Thanks again …. ❤

Me too, blogging photography is so quick and easy but writing is an equal passion that seems to be getting pushed aside 😦

Sometimes, I just want to do something that’s fun. When I write, I want it to be perfect and constantly edit or question it. When it comes to photography, if I don’t like it I can quickly take another. I guess the key is to do what we love and enjoy. 🌺

I like the images of fall too. I think they look more like a painting. The different shades of color are relaxing to the eye. I wish I had taken more photographs of fall. 🌻

Oh, yes … I agree. Each season has a beautiful song it sings. The winter winds will blow signaling the coming of snow. Mother Nature sings her varied songs and if we listen quietly we can hear them all. 🍂🍂🍂
