in the autumn
it's the really small
the little things
the moments
that complete the sentence
with an exclamation mark
so simple, these images,
their recognition
is in our nature,
yet too often neglected,
our eyes already elsewhere.
it is beyond the gods
why we hold onto our sorrows
so long, and so stubborn.

Words and photos are a beautiful testament to the extraordinary-ness of the ordinary.
Trees so readily release their shimmering leaves. We so reluctantly release our stinkin' thinkin.
I agree, Steven, that some colors are best left outdoors, pumpkin orange being one!
beautiful picture in your header steven.
pauline - really that's the essence of this blog. steven
dan - there's a lot of beauty on the ground here. the trees are almost done emptying themselves of their little processors! steven
ellen that picture's two day's old and was taken fifty km northeast of where i am sitting while i was on a trip to the woods with my class. the lake is called clear lake. steven
golden west - the colours are extraordinary and don't work inside. they are the palette of nature in the autumn of the eastern woodlands. steven
Yes Steven, it is like an exclamation mark! Beautiful.
