Autumn Light

"Love is but a song to sing

Fear's the way we die

You can make the mountains ring

Or make the angels cry

Though the bird is on the wing

And you may not know why

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Some may come and some may go

We shall surely pass

When the one that left us here

Returns for us at last

We are but a moment's sunlight

Fading in the grass

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

If you hear the song I sing

You will understand (listen!)

You hold the key to love and fear

All in your trembling hand

Just one key unlocks them both

It's there at your command

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

I said, come on people now

Smile on your brother

Everybody get together

Try to love one another

Right now

Right now

Right now"

Songwriters: Chester Powers / Chester William Jr. Powers

You will remember is as a song sung by

The Youngbloods from the 60's

Season of Leaves

Just before the death of flowers, 

And before they are buried in snow, 

There comes a festival season 

When nature is all aglow.

The Turning Of A Leaf

...I see 

 the turning of a leaf 

 dancing in an autumn sun, 

 and brilliant shades of crimson 

 glowing when a day is done... 

 ~ Hazelmarie "Mattie" Elliott

Fun is Good

Mr Squirrel Has Fun in the Sun 

Sunlight on His Tail

If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.

 ― Dr. Seuss

Images from a weekend at Claytor Lake.  Not only did the squirrel catch my eye but also the bokeh made by the autumn leaves and light.

 

Find The Light

 There is light in darkness, you just have to find it.

The Greatest Treasures

Simplicity, patience, compassion. 

These three are your greatest treasures. 

Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.

~ Lao Tzu

Obsessed with Leaves

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. 
~ Rachel Carson

I've always had a bit of an obsession for leaves.

Each one unique and as with bird watching - leaf watching is free!
