Autumn

 

Tomorrow is turkey day. There will be lots of eating. The weather is quite chilly but what can we expect it is the end of November. There are falling leaves everywhere.  

It may be corny, it may be schmaltzy but I love autumn leaves. You can say I am too old to be collecting fall leaves but I do it anyway. I found oak and maple leaves of bright red, almost black red, dark green and so much gold. Found old dying rose bushes with crumpled leaves and dying yellow roses. Roses are a diehard species of flowers that still blooms in November. 

I collect these lovelies because I put them on paper, squish them between backer boards and boil them for a long time. The results are magnificent impressions of every color, vein and unusual designs of Mother Nature.  

I have captured the end of another fall that I am so lucky to have lived.
