“There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same” Carlos Santana
From Sunrise to Sunset, Part Two: Daytime
Leaves have fallen on the ground
The sun hanging low in the horizon
The warm colours painting the trees
The warm red as far as eye can see
November’s day cool and crispy
The weather maybe a little misty

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns” George Eliot
Leaves of November
The colours may be fading
The cold nights not aiding
The circle of life still a fact
Use camouflage to distract?
Winter knocking at the door
Trying hard to ignore
Yearn for life weighing more
Growing stronger than before
Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY and in honour of the month of November
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Sunset
“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans
Sunset in November
The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days
Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours

“Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt” William Allingham
The End of Colour
This is the end of colour
Of the pain and sorrow!
The October rain
Finally came
Lashed down the leaves
Now it’s just heaps
Of gray on the ground
No colour to be found
It is the end of colour
“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it”
George A. Moore
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Finland, Espoo Suburbia
When you travel around the world, how many times upon return have you commented: “Well, that was fun, but home sweet home!”
Today a trip of a different kind
It’s surprising what you can find
When stepping, outside your door
Amazing, what beauty to score
The grass may be greener
On the other side of the fence
But sometimes you may be keener
To save a few more cents
Pick up the pace and lift your feet
Wander down your home street
The mundane soon turns to treasure
Leaving you with feelings of pleasure
So when not in Rome
Safe in home sweet home

“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again” Hal Borland
October Saturday, Part Two
Standing in the sun’s light
Between the tall shadows
Selfies of a different kind
Listening to the echoes
Before the end of twilight
And the rising of the moon
Night time falling soon
October: Month of wellingtons and mackintoshes

“October sunshine bathed the park with such a melting light that it had the dimmed impressive look of a landscape by an old master” Elizabeth Enright
October Saturday, Part One
Finally, weekend
Truly a godsend
A time to enjoy and relax
Lift your feet up and chillax
But, being my usual self
Could not just sit down
Grabbed the camera from the shelf
And ran down town
Sunlight on Saturday
Watching the shadows play
Colours of leaves in abundance
The birds and flies doing a dance
Sun warming the air
Not a time to despair
The cold and damp weather
Replaced by light and high pressure
Poetry and Photography
“Love the trees until their leaves fall off, then encourage them to try again next year.” Chad USG
Wednesday in October Parts One, Day Time
Type, type, type
Work, work, work
Finally, a break
Looking out the window
The sun beckoning
Stepping outside
Half way through the door
Something hits me
Like a lightning
It’s cold outside now
It’s after all, October
Time to put a coat on
Stepping out, first step…
But wait!
Don’t forget the camera!
