One Autumn Day

One Autumn Day Once upon an Autumn day the fairies came outside to play with their brushes, wings as wands tinted all the ferns and fronds and as the moment slowly past turned summer pond to looking glass John G. Lawless 9/12/2014

Yeah, Jan, Boston wears Olmsted's Emerald Necklace and I like to check out the jewels every so often. My dog tells me everything smells real good too.

Yes, Barbara, the ferns and fronds seem to be Autumn's step-children, always relegated to the dark corners and edges of streams and rivers. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Daniel, the images come from a lifetime of having easy access to Olmsted's Emerald Necklace, a wonderful ring of parks and nature trails that surround Boston.
