Autumn Delights
Mother Earth shares her bounty
all through the county
glorious golden hues
to entice the views
miles of orange and greens
fill my mental screens
~
the dance of colors and smells
awakens me from mental spells
earthy smells, oddly vibrant with decay
never cease to make my day
thank you fall for reminding me
the glories of allowing life to be
~
More photos and joys from last Autumn’s glorious display.
Beautiful photos.

Just lovely, Brad! Photos and words. I especially like “earthy smells, oddly vibrant with decay.” Aside from all of the stunning colors, I absolutely love the smell of autumn! 🙂

Lovely words and photos Brad. The line ‘earthy smells, oddly vibrant with decay’ immediately evoked that unique autumn smell of damp soil and decaying vegetation one experiences walking in woodland at this time of year 🙂

Thanks Robert, I’m glad there are others who appreciate that wonderful and unique smell. Normally I don’t like the smell of decay, but those wonderful fall smells! 🙂

The great outdoors is always a good therapy, any time of year! Sometimes I find too many things that have to be done indoors, a home can become a bit of a prison sometimes, it’s good to purposefully go for walks. Autumn in the US always looks a lot more colourful than the UK. Although I believe Scotland has some similar vibrancy in autumn too! 🙂

Agreed on the nature therapy Suzy. It’s time for me to get out and enjoy! I’ve not been to the UK or Scotland, but I shared a blog post with an amazing variety of geography in Scotland, so I bet there would some great autumn shows. 🙂
