Some of my latest photos...

Where are the children ?
Where are they now ?
Witches in the kitchen
Warlocks on the plough.

Gone is my maypole
Gone is the fun
No more coloured streamers
Adorning everyone.

Now it's time for sleep
Now it's time for rest
Times have changed you see,
Is it all for the best ?
Namaste

You never cease to amaze me.

Nothing quite fills the senses like a walk
Through early autumn woods,
Damp from recent rain and dewfall
The humid air filled with scents of life
Of moss and leaf and the heady scent
Of the beginning of decay as leaves begin to turn
And the ferns begin to brown.
Later leaves will crisp and curl
But for now, in this damp and fleeting moment
That somehow still feels eternal
Everything is soft, even the light filtered through
The multitude of still-green leaves overhead
Linger long enough and the moisture
Will soak through your shoes, then socks, then skin
And while the subtle change in these woods hints of
Darker, colder days to come
This moment, laden with life and death and moisture and verdant life
Seems forever

Oh Karen, you did it again! Such beautiful poems! So amazing how you always seem to find the perfect words to describe the atmosphere of these pictures, and the moments they were taken. You really have a gift!

Wombat, that is an eerie poem! Reminds of fall and night... is it a Halloween poem?

Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at my pictures, and for commenting on them.

It's a poem I thought up when I looked at the photograph of the skull tree.
It's about an old time, well before Halloween. ;)

Very good! Very autumn-like, and yes, like a glimpse of ancient times... Glad that tree was so inspiring. ;)

Kirsten, you are the inspiration, for without you there would be no pictures, and without your pictures there would be no poems.;)
