I love the Autumn,
And yet I cannot say
All the thoughts and things
That make me feel this way.…
I love the feeling down inside me
That says to run away
To come and be a gypsy
And laugh the gypsy way.
The tangy taste of apples,
The snowy mist at morn,
The wanderlust inside you
When you hear the huntsman’s horn.
Nostalgia— that’s the autumn,
Dreaming through September
Just a million lovely things
I always will remember.

We’ll pretend the poem says something other than September.)
Beautiful post. I just really love the second photo.
Love the wonderful colors of Autumn too. And your pictures are awesome! Also, I did a cool project using Fall leaves and tree branches. You may like it.
Love the photo of your daughter, so whimsical.
I like the nostalgic feel to the photographs. They will transcend time and can be shown whenever you want in the future which is what ART is all about!
I totally love the photos and the way you written those words.. Thanks!
Awesome post and wonderful pictures! I miss the autumn as well, it’s getting colder and colder here !
