Lucky me, to capture these windblown leaves before they flew over the wall? Actually, they are caught in a spiderweb. Sorry for the deception. The photodevil made me do it.

Leaf Fall, Snow Fall––For Wordle 615
Leaf Fall, Snow Fall
Voracious winds split open to spill their crumbled spoils,
unfurling leaf confetti in airborne swirls and coils.
They empty them on lawn and deck, a sign of what is coming
when winter drops its glittering load—beautiful and numbing.
I do not fear chill prospects, for I’ll be warm and snug
as my house wraps arms around me in its protective hug.

August Buffet
August Buffet
Although we came for the buffet,
what harm is there if we delay?
That pile of leaves looks so inviting.
The kid in me it is inciting.
Piled up so deep and dense and crunchy,
even though I’m feeling lunchy,
still I have a need more urgent,
childish thoughts now more resurgent.
All of spring’s precipitation
prompted lush leaves and the inception
of my hopes for autumn joys
shared by kids—both girls and boys
in festering imaginations
for these countless generations.
And so, we take a giant leap
to dive into the glorious heap,
Rolling in their crisp and crunch,
forestalling our urgency to munch.
Then, brushing off our fronts and backs,
we go inside for drinks and snacks.

Autumn Leaves
Between
I like the middle seasons, the rising and falling.
As in a good novel or a good life,
that is where the excitement is.
Summer’s heat and brittle winter
are for avoidance and snuggling in,
protection from the extremes.
For me it is the in-between, when flowers bud
or leaves turn brilliant and fall to cushion the earth
and blanket it from the cold comforter of December.

Dog Days of August: Stella’s Best Leaf Jumps of All Time
This video makes me regret having never lived in a place with enough leaves to do this. One of the best short videos I’ve ever seen. I watched it four times! Joyful.

Leavings
It’s been 15 years or more since I’ve seen fall colors. These shots were all taken over a two week period prior to my leaving Wyoming a week ago. Beautiful time of the year there. Click on any photo to enlarge all.
The Halloween challenge for today is leaves.
