…Beauties of yesterdays
That once gave so much
Now in period of grays
Can still our heart touch

Fallen leaves

Ready for harvest
It’s fun to watch the soybean harvest, as dusty as it may be.

Autumn reds
“…and I see,
the turning of a leaf
dancing in an autumn sun,
and brilliant shades of crimson
glowing when a day is done,
and I sigh…”
