Next to spring, this is my favorite season. Each season has its beauty and allures. I thought I would make this a picture month, maybe with a few poems along the way.

| Nature XXVII, Autumn
by Emily Dickinson
The morns are meeker than they were,
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry's cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on.

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all."
- Stanley Horowitz

| "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
- Albert Camus
|
|
| "Leaves drift softly earthward toward the grass
Spring and summer blend from green to gold
And so the seasons come full turn and pass
Day follows day and each of us grows old.
Somewhere there is a bright new shining day
And as these seasons pace and turn
We will live in joy complete and never say
That for younger days our hearts still yearn."
- Corby Magnuson, The Measure of Leaves

...teach us to number
our days,
that we may
apply our hearts
unto wisdom.
Psalms 90:12
