Glad gold heart

"The fallen leaves that jewel the ground, they know the art of dying
And leave with joy their glad gold hearts in the scarlet shadows lying"


(From Robin Williamson's October Song). 

Made me think of Janey Godley and the glad gold heart she shared with us - she died this morning.

I have no idea why the leaves have left their imprints on the paving stones like this - it's only for a very short stretch of pavement.

Edit: Didn't realise this would be my 5475th blip - seems like a lot, guess it's 15 years. Time flies, I find, whether you're enjoying yourself or not!
