I've been washing windows. I'm getting a little nervous; it's almost November and it's mainly in the fifties during the day, the thirties at night. I look up the hourly forecast to see when the day will be warmest, and that's when I do my work. Today was supposed to be no more than fifty five, but sunny. I washed both my bedroom windows, and even though it was chilly, I enjoyed it so much. I hung my head outside and felt the breeze, the sun, and then watched the golden leaves fall quietly to the ground. I thought, "I could make a little film of this", but you know - when I came back with my camera, nothing was falling. Of course not.
There is nothing like the dark clouds and bright afternoon sun against the trees. and when the trees are in their autumn splendor, it can only be October.
The golden sugar maple is almost bare all of a sudden.
Beautiful, dramatic October, I wish it could last for a year!

It is truly wonderful!
ReplyDeleteit's so hard to capture the beauty one sees on the camera! Yesterday the leaves were so beautiful with the sunshine, but that exact 'look' as it were, I could not capture at all... God bless you!
ReplyDeleteWell honestly, Elizabeth - I set the camera on the sunset setting, because I know it makes everything a little more golden, because yes, you're right, I just can't seem to capture it as my eyes see it.
