The sun breaks through
the low-hanging clouds
on the golden aspen leaves
dancing to the autumn breeze.

A tangle of leaves

Shimmering in a light breeze

To its own music.

October On the Mountain — Photo-Artistry by kenne

OCTOBER

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes’ sake, if they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along the wall.

Robert Frost

Sunlight Through The Aspens   Leave a comment

Aspen Trail -- 10-22-12Sunlight Through The Aspens on Mt. Lemmon– Computer Painting by kenne

When the mind’s eye rests on objects illuminated by truth and reality,
it understands and comprehends them, and functions intelligently;
but when it turns to the twilight world of change and decay,
it can only form opinions, its vision is confused and its beliefs shifting,
and it seems to lack intelligence.

Aspens in the haze
One questioning what is real
What is meant to be.

Nature’s Way

Golden leaves twist in the breeze

Above the trail near the creek.

I desire to capture every moment

Knowing soon they will fall

To their place of resting 

No longer twisting in the sunlight —

Continuing nature’s way.

Mount Lemmon Fall Colors On Sky Valley Slope — Image by kenne

I spent this morning hiking with the Monday Morning Milers up the Aspen Trail to the top of Sky Valley and back. This area has a lot of aspens in fall colors which I will be sharing in later postings.
