Summer's wildflower
shed its rainbow-colored robe
for a Winter shroud.

Absolutely exquisite. Through your lens you captured the beauty of autumn.

Gayle:

It looks like a ballerina bowing, doesn't it. I love the first and second.

I voted early this morn....as did Papa and Zach. Tricia votes this evening when she comes home from school on the train.

Gorgeous warm day in Massachusetts.

Sorry Roy, I took over your post but I had to talk to Gayle. Hope you don't mind.

What lovely photos Roy. I like your introduction as well. I've taken some of the same shots, but none with the clarity that you've managed.
Jennifer aka Jenn B. Nov 4, 2008, 6:13pm EST
I'd pick some...spray paint them something pretty ...maybe gold and brown and put them out as my weeks arrangement!
Sue M. Nov 4, 2008, 6:46pm EST
Awesome photos, as usual, Roy! Thanks for sharing them with us!

You have and eye to find the beauty in the not-so-obvious, Roy.
Just as a tree sheds it's leaves to reveal the inner beauty of the structure of the branches so do many others in the plant kingdom.

Thanks everybody! This is my absolute favorite time of year - my heart just expands when I go out walking, and I just absorb everything around me. And believe it or not, Richard and Linda Thompson's Dimming of the Day is always running in my head (although the link is to Bonnie Raitt's version, still beautiful). I always associate that song with Autumn.

Roy, you're wonderful - I totally love this ! You are someone who always finds the beauty in all things and yes, I feel the same - thank you! Salud
Mariana T. Nov 6, 2008, 11:04am EST
Roy, this has been featured in Salud. Thanks! Salud

Your wonderful photos illustrate the beauty of your minimalist Haiku... how zen-like in purity and message.
Roy ☯ Hilbinger Nov 6, 2008, 11:14am EST
Thanks Mariana! and especially thanks for the feature!

Thanks Duckie! As a lot of people around here know, my photographic trademark is simplicity, and a lot of my stuff has a very Zen-like approach.

very nice!

LOL!!! Arleen, are you only just now finding this? I thought you'd already seen and commented! (scroll up the page) Nope, you only just got here. I knew this would be right up your alley!
