The Magical Waltz of Colors

Hello Everyone,

   Today once again we will be re-visiting Frelinghuysen Arboretum.                             

   It has been 2 weeks since we were last there, but I could not think of a better place to photograph,and say Farewell to the Soul of Autumn.

  In Northwest New Jersey, this is the Peak of Leaf Season  ~

    So grab a nice cup of Mulled Cider and Enjoy the View, because we will have to wait a whole year to see it again  ~

    for captions run mouse over photos;

 

This is the only Shot I was able to capture of this October’s Ever Elusive Blood Moon, just before it was Swallowed by all the Clouds. Never to Appear again ~

  "Lady Autumn, Queen of the Harvest,
I have seen You in the setting Sun
with Your long auburn tresses
blowing in the cool air that surrounds You.
Your crown of golden leaves is jeweled
with amber, amethyst, and rubies.
Your long, flowing purple robe stretches across the horizon.
In Your hands You hold the ripened fruits.
At Your feet the squirrels gather acorns.
Black crows perch on Your outstretched arms.
All around You the leaves are falling.
You sit upon Your throne and watch
the dying fires of the setting Sun
shine forth its final colors in the sky.
The purple and orange lingers
and glows like burning embers.
Then all colors fade into the twilight.
Lady Autumn, You are here at last.
We thank You for Your rewards.
We have worked hard for these gifts.
Lady Autumn, now grant us peace and rest."
