The Beauty of Autumn

I stand among a galaxy of colours in my wood, The gentle hazy sunshine makes one feel so good. I am surrounded by leaves still floating down, So many colours, fading reds, yellows and the browns. Every year our trees produce this picture of delight, The shedding trees will soon sleep in the winter’s night. Today we are blessed with a gentle and mild breeze, Times like this, to view our countryside we must seize. I take a picture to capture this idyllic scene, a joy to keep. I wander back to my cottage, a warm fire, and a comforting sleep. Autumn has arrived, its beauty and its colours are not to be denied. It comes every year and lets us know it has arrived. It has shepherded out Summer that is nature’s way, Then it heralds in Winter giving us a grey wet day.
