I was at the home of Carl Sandburg, American Poet and Author today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sandburg_Home_National_Historic_SiteHere are some Fall Colors for your eyes. Everytime I walk around I keep hearing a song in my head. "Lend me your ear while I call you a fool, You were kissed by a witch one night in the wood. And later insisted your feelings were true." "The witch's promise was coming, Believing he listened while laughing you flew." "Leaves falling red, yellow, brown, all are the same, And the love you have found lay outside in the rain. Washed clean by the water but nursing it's pain." "The witch's promise was coming, and you're looking elsewhere for your own selfish gain." "Keep looking, keep looking for somewhere to be, Well, you're wasting your time, they're not stupid like he is. Meanwhile leaves are falling, you're too blind to see." "You won't find it easy now, it's only fair. He was willing to give it to you, you didn't care. You're waiting for more but you've already had your share." "The witch's promise was turning, so don't you wait up for him, he's going to be late."

Nice post jtull07. This song is the earliest that really reached me, and I also remember it always. Because I am part color blind the leaves are more the same color too.
Kicking through the wet leaves lying - all along the Station Road. Wrapped in your Autumn Leaves.

This is the best time of the year, Rock-tober! This is how I roll. Color is where you find it. I love the way it feels everywhere I go. I jam with Tull while cruising through town. "The Witch's Promise" of course.

Colors are everywhere. The weather is awesome. The weather will change tomorrow. The last day of ecstasy. Rain and colder temps for the weekend. These leaves won't last much longer,"And the stormwatch brews."

Beautiful pictures there Jim. Thanks Paul. I have very few hours till the wind and rain will change this beautiful world of color. I am reminded of a quote:"All glory is fleeting"

The leaves will soon be gone. This is Morris, the town mascot and billboard since 1928. Morris likes fall because more people take his picture with the beautiful trees. No trains anymore here, just a beautiful horizon. "The weather-man says something's on the move."

I think of the Heavy Horses album when I'm out in the country
Last April (our autumn), Stanthorpe, Queensland, and Tenterfield, NSW.

Last April (our autumn), Stanthorpe, Queensland, and Tenterfield, NSW. Great colors from down under. How cold does it get there after April?
