Autumn arms

silently
tumbling
and floating
until coming to 

quiet rest
beneath your summer home

one by one
you continue
to fall
to earth
all aglow

as summer splendor

spills

herself

into autumn

arms

Have you noticed?  The leaves?

As I walk, I see so many leaves upon the ground, reminding me to look up 

and see the burst of color above my head.

I used a program called Topaz to create the painterly affect on the photo.

Fall colors tend to invite that sort of affect, I think.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  

We've been traveling a bit so I hope to catch up with all of you soon!
