"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face."John Donne
The view outside our bedroom window is growing more colourful each morning. A few red leaves in the large maple tree greeted me a couple of weeks ago. In the last few days, a few more of the leaves turned red. Overnight last night, the tree next to it went from green to gold. Not a few leaves, but the whole tree. That took me a bit by surprise this morning. I'm wondering what kind of a show we will see this year. I suspect we will not see the pink ravine we saw last year. I'm not seeing hits of pink or brilliant reds. The reds seem a bit rusty and many of the trees in the ravine are moving towards gold and orange hues. We are coming up to our twelveth autumn in this house. Each year, the ravine has provided us with a different show. Nature is incredible, reinventing herself year after glorious year. Now to tap into that inspiration.
