Spectacular October

Overhead, skeins of geese begin their annual flight. Colorful robes of foliage adorn the trees for our delight. Towering mountains wear crowns of glistening snow. Over earth the harvest moon casts it's mellow glow. Babbling brooks will soon be covered with shimmering ice. Enterprising squirrels gather their winter's fare to suffice. Radiant sunsets are painted by the Master Artist that are so nice! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved Placed No. 2 in Carol Brown's "FALL IS AROUND THE CORNER" Contest - Sep 2011
