The Grandeur of Fall Contest

Sponsored by Emile Pinet ~ November 10, 2023

Summer's green vistas sang a farewell tune as bare limbs gently swayed in a chill wind. It swept o'er hills, beneath a harvest moon, filching leaves; a theft it could not rescind. Autumn is gilded with bucolic hues. Fawn feathered birds wing in indigo skies. Burnished umbers and rusts imbued with blues on a landscaped palette, my eyes apprise. Nature's artistry paints without a brush, picturesque valleys in ginger and gold. Rouged in the season of red crimson blush. Fall's grandeur provides bright scenes to behold. Vivid, the months when from mountain to sea, they're washed in beauty's prismatic esprit.

a beautiful poetic photograph of November. The title and picture were a perfect match. What I really liked was the imagery--'nature's artistry paints with a brush.' I could actually 'see' your November with my eyes. Thank you, best wishes for the contest. enjoy your evening, Sara
