through the wind and rain
maple leaves and fir needles
sigh upon the ground
poetry, prose, and photography

autumn's grip solid
summer's final remnants fade
within this strong breeze
This bush so holds a few tenacious blooms, but the autumn winds are becoming insistent. Soon all the branches will be barren. Yet life will remain, bold and true.
warmed by my tea rainy Seattle morning tranquil memories

through the autumn chill
light drifting through clouds and leaves
glistening off rain

autumn rains fade
sunlight returns to the sky
brown leaves resisting
