Fall color

I’m finally ready to admit it’s fall. Visiting a friend on Camano Island, north of Seattle, the colors are beginning.

River with birds

On the way up to Camano Island, north of Seattle in Washington, for a past Thanksgiving dinner we passed this river and the Cascade Mountains behind it. Can you see the tiny specks of all the birds resting on the water?

November roses

I brought these roses from my garden to my sister’s house on a Thanksgiving past. Nothing like November roses to tug at the heart of the gardener. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Birch tree in autumn

This photo was taken exactly one year ago, but the recent rain and wind has mostly taken the pretty leaves around the neighborhood by now, this year. Don’t you think this looks a bit like a pointillist painting?

Fall bouquet

The flower vendors at Seattle’s Pike Place Market really know how to put flowers together. You will find plant combos unlike anyplace else. And so cheap!

Lovely leaves and poem

What with all the wind we had, the leaf season is leaving. This beloved poem comes to mind.

Spring & Fall: to a young child

Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves, like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you will weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow’s springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.
