in a cloudless sky
an autumn day calls
come to the mountains
breathe in the fresh air
take in the rich hues of life
fall into the lush landscape
of a sun-kissed valley
dance in the arms of nature
taste the sweetness
of maples
taste the sweetness
of maples

Author's note: I took this photo
last weekend, the mountains
were once again calling me...
Lovely quadrille and picture. Sounds like a great day.
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful day to be out and about enjoying nature.
DeleteWhen I was a child I remember being fascinated by the idea that maple syrup came from a tree...it's still pretty amazing. A beautiful slice of the wonder of autumn!
ReplyDeleteI found the cutest country store that sold home baked maple frosted sugar cookies. Need I say more simply delicious.
DeleteGorgeous. I would love to. I asked for a shot of maple in my coffee this morning. That helped, lol.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, Yes I think you would enjoy a trip to the mountains.
DeleteThis is beautiful. On this side of the world our maples are decorative and the syrup usually artificial, but you have evoked the reality so well. I do love the aboreal fireworks of autumn. So much.
ReplyDeleteThe trees were not full peak yet, but still gorgeous. There is a sense of peace and beauty that calms the soul.
DeleteI love it, True.
ReplyDeleteThank you Blue!
DeleteDon't mention it. :)
DeleteI love the compact shape of your quadrille and the personification of autumn - the idea that it's calling us to join in the dance. I also liked the ending - with teh sweetness of maples.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim, falling into autumn's colorful madness here.
DeleteThe air always seems cleaner in the mountains. I can smell the freshness already...
ReplyDeleteAlex it is crisp and clean, clears the mind..
DeleteHi Truedessa - driving through and seeing the expanse of Autumnal colours is always just wonderful - chilly outside, clear blue skies, wonderful amber, ruby colours and then the aroma of scrunched leaves on earth ... as we walk ...
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
You describe it beautifully Hilary!
DeleteMakes me want to jump in the car and go to the mountains!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, you need a road trip Sandra:)
DeleteThe mountains sure can wipe you clean as they are far more serene
ReplyDeletePat there is a sense of serenity along with sprinting deer...
DeleteThis is really well done! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour words sing out the heart of an outdoorsman
ReplyDeleteMartin, I just like to take in the beauty of autumn.
DeleteAnd all I have to do is look out my window...I'm there.
ReplyDeleteThere you go enjoy the wondrous view! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteLove the photo and invitation to dance in the arms of nature ~ Been going out myself and enjoying autumn ~
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I am glad you are getting to enjoy a bit of the season!
DeleteI liked the idea of "falling into" the "landscape".
ReplyDeleteThanks, autumn a time of falling into the brilliance of color.
DeleteMakes me miss home back in the Carolinas. Southern California isn't exactly known for it's seasonal changes... :/
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you don't have to worry about snow. I would love a California day in the dead of winter.
DeleteIt's always been my dream to experience autumn in the mountains. How beautiful will that be. :-)
ReplyDelete~Imelda
I hope you get the chance, may it be so!
DeleteI love the sense of a lovely autumn day... that gold of maples...
ReplyDeleteand that sweet taste of fresh maple syrup dripping from a couple of pancakes.
