I have been seriously neglecting my Monday Favorite for so long because it has been crazy busy. Well this past Sunday my friend, Lin dragged me out for a walking photo session at Ridley Creek State Park to celebrate the fall foliages. What’s left on the trees and bushes was beautifully lit by the afternoon sun. I love this time of year where it’s not unbearably cold yet and the vibrant leaves add colors and textures. It feels very poetic and I’ll leave you with this poem:
“There is music in the meadows, in the air —
Autumn is here;
Skies are gray, but hearts are mellow,
Leaves are crimson, brown, and yellow;
Pines are soughing, birches stir,
And the Gipsy trail is fresh beneath the fir.
There is rhythm in the woods, and in the fields,
Nature yields:
And the harvest voices crying,
Blend with Autumn zephyrs sighing;
Tone and color, frost and fire,
Wings the nocturne Nature plays upon her lyre.”
– William Stanley Braithwaite, Lyric of Autumn
