A gift to be cherished
like a rare and perfect gem
the glow of Autumn’s
final exhibition
against a backdrop
of molten sapphire
Glistening in the sunshine
the tree beckoned me
Breathing in deeply
I savored the golden glow
An Indian Summer afternoon
walk and respite
to warm my heart and soul.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Beautiful image and lovely poem. Wonderful pairing that allows the viewer a delightful glimpse into a season’s gift.

I’m out there everyday watching the leaves falling, Jodi. They’re beautiful even in their death throes….this capture of yours will be a good one to get you through the long months of winter and its absense of colour….
