Messenger

bearing unwanted gifts -

October cloud

 



Green yellow red

What will the artist choose next?

Probably white

 

 

Celestial child,

a tree in sun's clothing ...

the last hurrah

 

 

 

Here is an alternate musing on the photo:

 

Maples dressed

for a fall beauty pageant . . .
Winter will judge 

Fearless plunge
Watery fingers pluck
a rocky harp




Magpie River's High Falls, Wawa, ON

Solitary leaf

Patient as gray turns white . . .

then green

 

 

 

The sun, your herald

The breeze, your troubadour

Garden phlox

 

 

Fjord fortress

Shelter from wind and storm . . .

but the foe is us

 

 

Earth is close

World is far, far away

Sacred resting place

 

 

Wilting hosta

 waits for the snow . . .
Life runs deep

 

 

The sun is too hot

and the shade is too cool

Autumn quandary
