Autumn
The glory of autumn colors,
Is around us everywhere
Especially now in October,
And there's a chill in the air
A soft haze over the meadow
The sumac is flaming red
Along the fence beside the road
The goldenrods nod their heads
Maple and oak are blooming in colors of every hue
From gold to red to crimson
Against a sky of a deepest blue
This is nature's grand finale
As summer comes to an end
The curtains will soon drop
And winter will soon descend

Very beautiful, Susan, as is the poem. Clive
amazing work!!!!
Very nice :)
Even from my dark place, your light shines bright... a most beautiful image enhanced by your shining spirit. Your gallery is amazing and your words sweet and soft. I am happy our paths twisted to a place where we had a chance to meet. Seth
this is breath taking and beautiful--You have a distinctive style reminiscent of the masters! Love this!
A beautiful image and a beautiful poem. I hope you feel better soon. I,ll keep you in my prayers.
A wonderful painting-like image. Really beautifully done and so is the sweet poem. :)
Wonderful photo and poem my friend.
belle photo!
Beautiful!
Beautiful autumn scene, wonderful capture! :)
This is so wonderful, dear Susan. Your photo really looks like a lovely painting, and I love the poem too. Wishing you strength with all what's going on around you, it sounds not easy but I'm glad you now have a pill that's not making you feeling more sick. God bless, dear friend, and thank you for your favorites and words. I'm very thankfully.
hi susan :) love your photo...the colors are amazing. reminds me of the area in which i grew up. i do love autumn--my favorite season...something about the smell of the fallen autumn leaves. your poem is lovely...something i simply cannot do is write a poem :) sorry to hear about all the suffering in your family. will keep them, as i do you, in my thoughts and prayers.
Wonderful capture and post work! And your poem is great! Best wishes for you and your family, Susan - i'll send my best thoughts to you!.. :o)
A very lovely Autumn photo and poem, Susan !Lovely colors and post work, enchanting image !Hope you feel better !
Just so full of colors! I really love it!
A beautiful subject for a watercolor Susan. Very nice indeed.
It's lovely to see a new poem from you! Beautiful poem with wonderful descriptions. I love the way your words celebrate the richness of autumn but also set it in the cycle of the seasons, as the harbinger of winter. Beautiful image! It looks like a pastel drawing. Lovely frame too! I hope you are feeling better and are still feeling no sickness from the pills. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Excellent!
First off I'm just letting you know that I'm sending good thoughts your way, but it's good to know that the new chemo pill they've administered to you doesn't make you ill! Small favors add up, you know, and so I'm hoping for lots and lots more small favors going your way. Now, as for this image! It's really wonderfully done. I had a little debate with myself whether or not this was a photograph that's been tweaked, or a pastel drawing, or a watercolor. It has qualities of all three and it's such a beautiful image. I love the colors. It seems that red is one of the colors you work with the most, and I like that, as red is such a vibrant and lively color. This is a vibrant and lively image, but its also very relaxing. Funny how that works. I like the mood in this image very much and the poem is top-notch also; you capture one thing with the image and something else with the poem, but the two work together extremely well: like two sides of a coin. This is really marvelous work.
This is such a very beautiful photo shot dear Susan, love the beautiful view.
Oh beautiful picture Susan so good to see autumn leaves again, all of ours here are dead now
wow, this is so pretty!
Wonderful Image and post work - have sent you a mail Hugs hanna
