Naked Tree

Beneath a desolate sky
Intricate simplicity,
Richness of colours in fall
A coppice carpet.

G’day Harry … our so called evergreen trees drop their leaves all year round, so to amble amongst these rustic carpets would be new to me - thank you Harry - Lindsay

It does seem that fall has some of those days and it is good to have some color around to help balance that out. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Thanks for dropping by my page. Sara
