Sorry to people who read this earlier. I hadn't proof read very well. I was just going to post the photo's and then words came to me so fast.... but it takes longer to post than you think and I ended up posting a little too fast. .. I went in and re wrote a few things. This is a little better. (No more trying to get a post off quick before work... )
All the images are from this past weekend either at the family homestead in Little Valley or the Fall festival in Ellicottville, NY. The leaves were just about peak and BEAUTIFUL!
Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves are shining bright
shimmering in the breeze
The colors bold and worn with pride
A coat for all to see
The twilight of their life it seems
yet the best of times
Showing off their wisdom
with colors of every kind
A celebration of where they've come
and what their life has been
Droughts, and winds and heavy storms
they've made it through them all
So shine with pride and wear your colors
You've earned them every one
Let's walk a while and reminisce
and celebrate Autumn's Splendor
