October

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are October’s”

-L. M. Montgomery

Aspen in Full Color, Blue Sky

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

~Jim Bishop

Fall, Maple Leaves, Yard, Light, Red

“The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more in our morning walk we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds or the rains out of these delicate textures while we slept.
How beautifully the leaves grow old! How full of light and color are their last days! There are exceptions, of course. The leaves of most of the fruit-trees fade and wither and fall ingloriously. They bequeath their heritage of color to their fruit. Upon it they lavish the hues which other trees lavish upon their leaves….
But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.”


~John Burroughs, “The Falling Leaves,” Under the Maples

Fall, Colors, Green, Gold, Trees, Grasses

 

June Trembled Like a Butterfly

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,
the month of June trembled like a butterfly.”

“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.”

-L. M. Montgomery

“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”Little Tree, Bright Greens
