Shadow Shot Sunday 2 - Tree Shadows on a Jaipur Pig - October 20, 2013

44 DAYS LEFT IN INDIA!

This rather dusty, dirty Jaipur pig is pretty much camouflaged by the stone 
fence and the leaf shadows of the tree above.  It is clear, however, that she
must have given birth to a litter pretty recently though I didn't see any little
piggies around.

Magpie #35 - Leaves - October 12, 2010

A season of such beauty,
Nature's artistry unfolds,
The foliage all around us,
Reds, crimsons, even golds.

The air is fresh and crisp,
Winter snow hovers near,
Autumn leaves in brilliant beauty,
Add their notes of festive cheer.

A vibrant canopy of leaves,
Offers shelter from the sun,
Until a rising evening breeze,
Sends them flying, one by one.

By morning and the falling rain,
There are lovely leaves no more,
They have fallen from the trees above,
And lay on the forest floor.

Leaves

Many of the blogs I've seen lately are filled with beautiful pictures of the changing leaves, some hanging on valiantly as winds tug in their efforts to tear them from their lofty perches.  Winter will soon be here and the bare branches will await their spring rebirth.  This is a poem I wrote about the leaves.
