Fall

The 'Fall' was an apt description of the forest today, a wind heralding winters approach stirred the canopy, loosening leaves sending them in swirling cascades earthwards. Amongst the stands individual trees shone out, radiant in autumn hues, whilst most of their friends still cling to dulling greens. The developing colour has been slow to come this year, so far it's been a muted affair. I wonder if we'll see much of a show of colour, or whether the leaves will be blown before that can happen.  Still, these isolated pockets of radiance are a joy to see. Autumn's a wonderful time of year here in the forest.
