All Fall Down


Fall is rapidly turning toward winter. For a few minutes today, something white was definitely falling from the sky. But before the rich warm colors and crisp edges and earthy scents of this season give way to the clean, white, rounded shapes of the next, here are some images I've collected lately.

Lovely leafy outlines on a wet walk:


 
 
Satisfying stack of firewood in my yard:

Late fall garden, now populated primarily by carrots, parsley, various members of the cabbage family, and lots of leafy greens:

 
Maisie, sunlit on a rare day when the clouds parted:

Tree felled by busy neighborhood beavers along the trail where Maisie and I walk every morning:

Silky seeds from an exploding milkweed pod, ready for whatever adventures the next gust of wind brings:

Still life with pears:
