Can't help myself! Got to have some autumn color! LOL
From Hal Borland's "Book of Days" (1964) "Autumn in your Hand:"
"A tree in Autumn is a lovely sight. One tree alone can concentrate the beauty of a whole woodland, leaf by leaf and branch by branch, as one flower can give the essence of a whole garden.....Watch even a single branch outside a certain window, and you are watching the color of change. One morniing there is a spot of yellow on a certain leaf....Another day and that glow may be there. It spreads. The spot becomes a splash of gold...edged perhaps with a thin line of scarlet. It creeps down the leaf between the veins, and then across the veins; and the scarlet edging widens into a band and then a border....Thus comes Autumn, leaf by leaf and tree by tree, thus the woods become a hooked rug flung across the hills with all its folds and all its colors....Pick up one leaf of those already cast adrift, and you hold Autumn in your hand."
Happy Autumnal Sunday!

It's gorgeous Lin!!!
Absolutely beautiful. And what lovely prose or poem. I have lost all my memory and my education!! Both are lovely and together are perfect. I love the way Autumn is described -- so true.
Your alcohol ink paintings get better and better. Can't wait to order some of the shirts on Zazzle. You go girl!!
Big hugs and happy Autumn.
