As Autumn's Breeze

As Autumn's breeze starts to show its face so does a gradual cooling of land begin. Mottled colours of brown, green and golden leaves drift down, spinning and twisting. Bare branches start to appear as the trees are stripped and scurrying insects hide under the new piles. Still the sun tries to hold back the clock to no avail. Long dark nights and short days take over as everything begins to sleep and some to die off. Long cold days now approach. All too soon snow is in the air soft fluffy flakes that drift down blanketing the lands in pristine white that glistens and sparkles like precious gems strewn about. Winter's icy breath now rules and mortals huddle by the fire.

This is lovely Shadow. This season is my favorite for so many reasons. It is the last hurrah before winter cold keeps many home bound. Shunning imagery in this well written piece Shadow, and a great example you have given us for your contest. Thank you! 7 ; )

The winter is turning into spring here in South Africa, but my memories can vaguely recall the rain and storm in Pembrokeshire and me ice skating on the ponds in Hamburg. Got to get my skates on...hands already freezing.
