Tho the winter solstice is not until December 21st it seems that autumn has been long gone. While looking out the window this morning and seeing fresh snow lying on the ground, I reflected upon the changes I saw around me; and had these thoughts on the ending of one season and the beginning of another.
Needles of pine quilt a soft warm blanket using
hushed hues of faded browns and yawning yellows
as Autumn prepares its winter bed
Northern vagabonds of wind and snow
whistle a warning lullaby of winter's approach
and Autumn falls asleep upon a soft white pillow

I can't believe the movement in the last picture. I can almost hear the wind and feeling snap against my cheeks.
Ann, the bottom photo is exquisite!
annie and eg tour guide:
That windy photo is one of my favourites too. And I think it is spectacular in colour. I remember the day I took it very clearly for I was sitting in my car on the shore of the Saint John river when a snow squall seemed to just appear out of no where!
That first image tells me the wind was blowing hard!
All great images and a wonderful poem of your thoughts.
I also love that last photo! Very nice conversion too:)
Mine is, HERE. See yah!
I like what you wrote...beautiful and so perfect to describe winter's approach. The photos work well with the words to give the feel of winter settling in on everything.
