horizon october leafs
October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.
beautiful morning views
As I stood and watched the mists slowly rising this morning I wondered what view was more beautiful than this.
wild-roses orange stones
Here and there one sees the blush of wild rose haws or the warmth of orange fruit on the bittersweet, and back in the woods is the occasional twinkle of partridgeberries. But they are the gem stones, the rare decorations which make the grays, the browns and the greens seem even more quiet, more completely at rest.
lonely winter autumn
The hush comes with the deepening of Autumn; but it comes gradually. Our ears are attuned to it, day by quieter day. But even now, if one awakens in the deep darkness of the small hours, one can hear it, a foretaste of Winter silence. It’s a little painful now, and a little lonely because it is so strange.
