The days may not be so bright and balmy—yet the quiet and melancholy that linger around them is fraught with glory. Over everything connected with autumn there lingers some golden spell—some unseen influence that penetrates the soul with its mysterious power.
The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
~ Benjamin Disraeli
There are a few days out of the year when this Dogwood tree is full of berries....and the birds flock to it. Those are the days when the birds grab the berries and I try to grab shots of them grabbing the berries. It only comes around once a year - so I had to grab the opportunity.
