though the air's still cold the days are growing longer hints of spring arise
poetry, prose, and photography

cold autumnal rain
sunlight returned joyfully
memories at night
I was able to fit a walk in between rain and wind. Found this lovely bundle of resistance peeking through the shrubs.

the grace of sunlight
within the cool autumn air
glimmers of beauty

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.

flowers in autumn
within the flowing mists
such tenacity

petals scattering
memories of fading spring
summer whispers “soon”
Watching the trees shed their blossoms’ petals is both beautiful and sad. Summer comes on the death of spring.

mists flowing through trees
moisture upon the petals
dreaming of the sun

kissed by the sunlight
dancing upon the spring breeze
the arc of petals
