Autumn has seized the countryside
Our neighbors’ yards are particularly beautiful in the fall. Yorktown, Virginia, October 2008
“The magic of autumn has seized the countryside; now that the sun isn’t ripening anything it shines for the sake of the golden age…” ― Elizabeth Coatsworth
I would miss so much if I didn’t get out and walk. This neighbor’s yard, like so many, would be harder to appreciate through the windshield of a car. Walking by it allows me to rejoice in how stunning a picture it makes. Having a camera allows me to catch it and enjoy it again later.
As autumn seizes the countryside, I hope you will seize the moments of this golden age and save them, in memory or in snapshots. Feel free to send us some photos or word pictures of what fall is like in your neighborhood.
