Falling Leaves

Autumn leaves fall Dancing in the breeze Carpeting the ground Underneath our feet Nature’s glory does enthrall Skeleton like trees Rooted to the ground Spring’s cycle will repeat Trees again will be complete Jan Allison 23rd October 2014

Fall is my favorite season. The changing colors and the piles of leaves. I really like this Jan. God bless.

I love the cycle of nature, Jan. This is beautiful...in my home state we have stunning fall color. I find winter a little tedious any more; that's why we have escaped to Florida.

My favorite part was the skeleton like trees rooted to the ground. It's an expression that I can safely say I've never heard before. It gives me this odd image that trees are just like people except they stand firmly in place... weird thought, I know.

The master painter plays with brush and canvas. But she is not whimsical. She is a maestro and completes her composition touching all notes methodically. Nature. Graceful poem. very very graceful. Love Jan!....RAJATc

Returns me to a rendezvous at a tree filled park in my youth. Laying on the leaves and watching them fall while wrapped in warm arms. Nice one Jan!
