The colours of nature change with the seasons as Autumn begins with a subtle filter in the daylight. As temperatures seem to suddenly drop. With the change in the season often come the first hoar frosts. As we see the sudden loss of the birds that migrate to warmer climates further south.
The leaves turn red or brown and then cover the floor in a carpet of decay. In hibernation until spring.
"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all." - Stanley Horowitz
Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
(Originally a French song Les Feuilles Mortes with lyrics by poet Jacques Prevért)
