A Moment Observed

A gust of wind - and a flurry of yellow gold leaves take to the air and soar over my fence like birds.

November has bought more light into my north facing room. The trees have dropped their verdant graces and now stand naked against the colourless sky. Intricate silhouettes softened and blurred by the gentle falling rain.

Early This Morning. . .
