Shine On

Lime green trees, tinted orange Shine on the edge of the woods Woodpecker chirp, visiting suet Happy to find the food there for them Some leaves fallen, are stuck in a bush The rest start to cover, summer’s grass Change is upon us day after day As the seasons bring beauty our way I rest my weary arms from chores As winter will not be far either But as I walk through all that I do, I keep the colors in my busy mind It’s time to let them shine on, shine on!

This piece is a complete amalgamation of "sight and sound!" Beauty creeps with nature's imageries with the vibrant colours!

Autumn has come, and the trees are starting to turn color. The change of the seasons is another something I enjoy. Well done, Heidi.
