| Fallen leaf with water fountain, closed for the season |
Fall is packing up its leaf bags, getting ready to hand over the keys to winter.
(A note for those who like to mark to change of seasons: Winter arrives at 10:27 p.m. tomorrow.)
Late fall brings a beautiful, though sometimes blinding slant of sharp, clear light.
Driving home tonight along a woodsy road, I saw the light wash over the treetops. High branches glowed sunset orange. Below was all shadow.
Around a bend, a looming water tower became the backdrop for huge tree silhouettes.
I quickly parked the car and hurried over to get a closer look, knowing that in a few minutes the light would be gone.
My picture doesn’t do it justice.
Luckily, my mind’s eye captures it just right.
A moment of pure ... whoa!
You captured late fall perfectly! Somehow the light is cleaner and clearer and colors are more defined. You did capture a wonderful picture of the tree shadow on the water tower but in my minds eye, I think I see it the way you did. Beautifully written as always my friend! Meet you on my third floor?
