Autumn Fires
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
Robert Louis Stevenson (from A Child’s Garden of Verses, 1913)
These are photos from a walk a couple of days ago through the pretty suburb of Belleknowes. It was a dull, overcast day but there were so many gorgeous colours around. And a wicked letterbox!

ReplyDeleteBrother wind and sister sun...lol Jess, you really hit the mark with that one. Although, as of a couple of hours ago my hair is wonderfully groomed! Now I want a post from you miss Sassy!
