autumn blues...

...but still in autumn denial *



"Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower."
Albert Camus


(here you have it: a flower!! beautifully posing for me this morning when i went out in a desperate search of autumn...)



"Summer makes me drowsy.
Autumn makes me sing.
Winter's pretty lousy,
But I hate Spring."
Dorothy Parker


(like dorothy...i love autumn; it doesn't make me sing but it makes me want to play the piano again...)



"Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter."
Carol Bishop Hipps


(our council is getting too good; leaves are swept as soon as they fall so no much chance of leaf kicking here!! this little leave escaped by falling here...)



"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."
Elizabeth Lawrence


(and while i was about to photograph it...this little leaf turned!!...yes it did!!)



"October is a symphony of permanence and change."
Bonaro W. Overstreet





*if you have 7 minutes to spare...have a listen; gene harris is the best piano player ever and i was lucky to see in concert shortly before he died...
