Leaf-Ward We Wander

"Gradually the winds became more frequent and aggressive, forcing the trees to abandon their leaves that passed over me like pixies venturing into the night on wild stallions."

~Kirsty Louise Farley

Shoal: A Thanet Writers Anthology

Last week's rain and cold, reminded me that as the month of November comes to an end, so does the warm days of autumn. We are only a couple weeks from the winter solstice, and it's pretty obvious that this winter will be painful. My Fibromyalgia is telling me to curl up with the kitties, but my imagination is telling me to go and do my photography now, while there is still time! It's a delicate balance.

Yesterday, I did some photographs of leaves, left in the puddles, after last week's rain. I love to see them swimming in rain water, because I always thought they looked like stars. A dark sky with bright beautiful stars, watching over me. Shrug. Some people see a pile of leaves in a puddle, and see a pile of leaves in a puddle, I see a pile of leaves in a puddle, and see I see the Milky Way!

Leaf-ward we wander...

Wind through these trees

Sunlight through breeze

bird songs around

we wander the leaves.

Daydream Believer

"There are certain half-dreaming moods of mind in which we naturally steal away from noise and glare, and see some quiet haunt where we may indulge our reveries and build our air castles undisturbed."

It may be April on the calender, but it feels more like the dead of August. I am not a fan of hot weather, I can't think straight if it is too warm outside. I like beach weather... if I am near the beach... but when I am just making my way around the suburbs I find hot weather intolerable. So, the last few days I think I have spent about 2 hours of day to day thinking, and 46 hours of daydreaming. And that's fine I guess. If for no other reason than to make it all more bearable.

Everything in it's time.

Perfect Autumnal Days

"it was one of those perfect autumnal days, which occur more frequently in memory than in life."

My November Dream
Leaves Fall As Do Memories
Of Autumn And You.

Some autumn days play with my memories. It's soul stirring sometimes. The light you see in someone else's eyes can blind you, especially if the light is in November.
