The end of Fall

[sjlarue]

Some random thoughts then my final 2009 Fall pics:

The rake is put away.
The salt and shovel are by the door...
The trees will soon be sleeping.

The beans are in the silos.
But farmers are not resting...
For the corn is almost dry.

Frost is on the pumpkin...
The birds are heading south.
I dig my scraper out...again.

My pancakes will taste good again.
And the waffles will as well...
Grade B Amber will soon be here.

As quick as Fall arrived,
Its passing seemed almost faster...
I hate to see it go.

The rake is put away.
The salt and shovel are by the door...
The trees will soon be sleeping.
.
.
.
Your life is like the seasons,
From your first day to the last.
Be sure to know which way you're going,
Before your last...has passed.

After The Harvest.

Both pics are great. I like the pan look of the first. Good timing on the colors. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, these are both great. What type of tree is that..? It's gorgeous. And did you write those words? It's very good.

Thanks, Panos are my favorite. The tree is just a Red Maple with a black and white layer using the IR preset. It filters out the orange of the maple and leaves the blue of the sky. Here is the original:



The poem is all mine. Sometimes I just have stuff in my head that needs to be written down.

Stunning even in it's original form.
