Hello Tom, there's something both melancholy and peaceful in that transition from abundance to starkness. Sometimes the most profound observations come in the simplest forms. Blessings, Tom, Daniel
Cunningham Avatar

Thank you very much Daniel, I do love that transition where Autumn gives way to Winter, I've been scarce of late, been travelling a lot this year, not long back from Turkey. I hope you are keeping well. Tom

Thank you Duke, used to work outdoors in all seasons but find as I get older the cold bites harder lol. Still I love the snowy scenes that winter brings preferably watching from indoors. Hope your week is going well. Tom

This Fall has been as hot as summer here, Tom. Your lines are a fine dreamscape, Tom. Funny, how we share Autumn as our favorite season, yet we both wrote of Winter.

Thank you very much Anne Lise, I agree, as you get older it's best viewed from indoors in the warm. Hope your week is off to a good start. Tom
