Fall’s Passing

 

Autumn is a brief moment, usually, but this year it shared its slow change.  Trees are still carrying their leaves and green grass in spots.  Won’t be much longer till all of the colors are gone.  Another winter storm is on its way.  Snow will collect on the leaves that are still attached and branches will break, causing problems.

Winter clothes are in the closet, ghosts and goblins are stored away for another year.  Chapters continue to unfold.  The turkey is warily walking the woods.

End of year is approaching and the celebration of a new one in on the horizon.  Crèche scenes will be dusted off and decorations to change.

It's often sort of a mellow sadness that I feel as seasons come to an end. Fall has hung around a bit longer than usual but this week we've got highs in the thirties so the first big snow storm likely can't be all that far away. Delightful capture you have there of the trees...I'm amazed that there's still some green in those trees!

Your photo wasn't showing for me on the blog but I click on it and was able to see it. Lovely fall colors indeed. So many leaves still on our fruit trees and snow comes and goes now, but those wonderful fall colors are now all gone here.
