As growing season halts at summer's end Green leaves begin to starve for chlorophyll Sun rays cook nutrients now trapped within The leaves change colors with the frosty chill Emblazoned mountains burn with Autumn's fire Bright flame like red and orange yellow leaves A russet carpet is the grounds attire More beautiful than any could conceive And yet we never cease to be amazed The coat of many colors nature wears Each fall we watch the smokeless leafy blaze "Til winter winds disrobe and trees stand bare Igniting our illusions with a view Those Autumn fires in trees of russet hues October 21 2016

Absolutely beautiful the scene you painted with words is even more brilliant than the graphic you attached. Wonderfully written Daniel.

Thank you, Tim. No, but I do have mountains out my backdoor. I love to get up early and see the clouds down on them. It's just so serene. I appreciate you dropping by. Still a little sore but I'll survive:)
