The
stripped and shapely
Maple grieves
The ghosts of her
Departed leaves.
The
ground is hard,
As hard as stone.
The year is old,
The birds are flown.
And yet
the world,
In its distress,
Displays a certain
Loveliness---
- John
Updike, A Child's Calendar
I love it!

Beautiful photos! You caught some gorgeous shots of the season. I like the verse, too. We've had so much rain here lately, there's not much opportunity for taking photos outside. I'm hoping to get some this weekend.
Wow! Stunning photos. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
