The leaves are down, most trees naked.
In the country, leaves blanket the forest floors, drift around country houses, congregating in every corner.
In the city, the earth takes on a fresh-scrubbed look, as the leaves take flight. New shadows appear on the earth, new views emerge. The sky acquires an unaccustomed openness, a veil lifts, exposing the bones, the skeleton of our surroundings.

I love your photography and words.
Celia says
Janet, thank you. I so enjoy making these entries. The seasons induce a kind of ecstasy. I find it hard to resist writing about them. . . Celia

Nice pictures of fall leaves—I bet many folks have a lot of raking to do !
