This is a photo from September and reflects the beauty of autumn. The rich colors, the briskness of the breeze, the comfortable days and the peaceful surroundings I miss as I sit at home seeking protection from the spread of a pandemic.

The beautiful leaf relates well to this autumn quote - " "The one red leaf, the last of its clan, That dances as often as dance it can, Hanging so light, and hanging so high, On the topmost twig that looks up at the sky." — Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Another feel good quote about my favorite time of year is this one - “I loved autumn, the one season of the year that God seemed to have put there just for the beauty of it.” — Lee Maynard

I hope the photo and thoughts might bring some comfort and cheer during this concerning period.
