Andrea's October Symbols Contest October 17, 2024

Maples thrive in autumn Mature leaves change colors Melange of rustic hues Maroon, umber and gold Mortality in flight Mother trees left weeping Mourning 'til early Spring

Lin, all M's for maple trees. They are really something indeed. We have one Norway Maple in our yard now that is quite large. It's a pleasant companion. All wonderful. We also have a wall of Japanese Maples that turn very red about now. Smiles!

Hi Lin! Beauty, grief and hope all perfectly expressed in seven lines! So many perfectly crafted expressions of the season - "melange of rustic hues," "maples thrive in autumn," "umber, maroon and gold!" I love the uniquely creative line "mortality in flight!" I am so happy you decided to enter contests again. I have been enjoying your entries! Sending you hugs, a rainbow of autumn joy and blessings!
