Autumn Leaf Of The Day #68

 

"Autumn is an interesting season, even in the metaphor of life, is a time of decline, of loss, but also intense haunting beauty. Some places, like people, never are, or has been, as beautiful in their fall."

~Luigina Sgarro 

Autumn Leaf Of The Day #68

 

“It was one of those sumptuous days when the world is full of autumn muskiness and tangy, crisp perfection: vivid blue sky, deep green fields, leaves in a thousand luminous hues. It is a truly astounding sight when every tree in a landscape becomes individual, when each winding back highway and plump hillside is suddenly and infinitely splashed with every sharp shade that nature can bestow - flaming scarlet, lustrous gold, throbbing vermilion, fiery orange.”
