Autumn on the Basin


There are layers of colours between us and the North Mountain


Look the other way and the dairy herd is grazing on the flatlands


Rusts and reds bring life to bleached grasses


Turn another corner on our path
and the colours are softly waning.


I have a friend who likes dots
I like them too
especially when made by Mother Nature.


There are so many berries and rosehips this year
winter food for the deer and the birds


Turning back home
a yellow streak of silver birch
shows up against the mountain.

  6. You live in an area of such beauty. I hope all those berries don't mean another awful winter in your area.
