Autumn Writes a Story

Spring is tender

Summer is passionate

Winter is elegant

 Autumn contains all these qualities

and shows us how.

with passion

and the tenderness of new buds forming for the following spring.

Elegance in the park

and when the autumn colours reach for the sky

we hold our breath at the sheer audacity

We follow the paths of fallen leaves

not wanting to touch a single thing

I've never seen such a beautifully decorated bench at the foot of a beech tree

Catch a falling leaf and make a wish

it is said that they always come true 

I'll let you know!

Here's one for you!

The sun plays such an important part

in illuminating those gorgeous leaves.

The Gingko leaves like golden fans upon the grass

lead us to some steps on their carpet of loveliness

which we climb to discover yet more beauty

The American oak leaves dance against a backdrop of sunlit beech.

The pond acts as a mirror

for a nearby tree

and the fountain is decorated with shimmering leaves from a tulip tree

floating on the surface of the water.

As I walk through the gates of the park

the fallen leaves seem to accompany me into the street

as if they know that I am unwilling to return back home.

Luckily for me,

this lovely park is in the city where I live

and I can visit it anytime I want.

It's only a short bus ride away.
