Leaf-strewn bridge

Wednesday

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." George Eliot

The skies were still grey today, and it was quite cold, but it remained dry, and I was able to fit in a photo walk around Pioneer Park before going grocery shopping this afternoon. The rain and wind of the last few days have certainly been bringing the leaves down, as you can see from this leaf-strewn bridge.
