On The Last Full Day Of Autumn 2017...

"Autumn that year painted the countrysie
 in vivid shades of scarlet, saffron and russet, 
and the days were clear and crisp under harvest skies."

It's the last full day of autumn, 2017.
 And as such, it's not about me, it's all about the leaves...



"The gold and scarlet leaves that littered the countryside in great drifts whispered and chuckled among themselves, or took experimental runs from place to place, rolling like color hoops among the trees. It was as if they were practicing something, preparing for something, and they would discuss it excitedly in rusty voices as they crowded round the tree trunks."

I could have sat under that autumn tree forever!
