Lovely photo - I can just about smell those autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteBok had just picked-up the scent of a Pheasant, which he then chased into the air.
DeleteLooks like the Park just in front of my home. Berlin is Europa greenest city and autumn a wonderful season Do you know the old Song : Autumn comes the summer is past winter will come too soon stars will shine clearer skies seem nearer under the Harvest Moon...etc.?
ReplyDeleteMy son is in Berlin at the moment; on business. No I don't know your old song, but I do know Harvest Moon by Neil Young
DeleteI love Harvest Moon by Neil Young!
DeleteOh hope He enjoys , the weather seems better since yesterday, we had heavy rain for 2 weeks,which spoiled a bit the autumn colours. It's a song from the 16th century and my little son learnt it in the kindergarden.
DeleteI hope you now teach him the Neil Young version.
DeleteWe sing it already.
DeleteI am surprised you can drag yourself away from trolling.
DeleteI'm not a Troll
DeleteI love autumnal woodland, the colours and the scent of rotting leaves.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who live here would know at once that the photo was taken nearby. It's a very typical scene.
DeleteThe French oak always amazes me - red leaves in autumn - and red acorns too!
ReplyDeleteThere's a small plantation of those Oaks just beyond where I took the photo. They are amazing colours, but as they are planted in lines; not very photogenic.
DeleteI like your poem! And how beautiful your surroundings are...you live in paradise.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jennifer; you're the first to mention my wonderful poem.
DeleteGreat poem - which describes autumn perfectly. I'm going to put your name forward for the next Poet Laureate.
ReplyDeleteFrankly I'm surprised this hasn't been done before. Thank you.
DeleteCould I suggest that woo might be changed to hue. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteI have followed your advice (of which I approve), but I don't want it to sound too 'precious'. I'm more from the McGonagall school of poetry than Wordsworth.
DeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously a connoisseur. Thank you.
DeleteI love that you have a copyright for this oh, so colorful poem. Now, no one can steal it.
ReplyDeleteThey've been queueing-up.
DeleteA small masterpiece of Autumn I would say, and picture greatly enhanced by dog.
ReplyDeleteBok brightens any picture. He's a star.
DeleteBrought tears to my eyes and of course I'm going to steal this little gem. Happy Autumn.
ReplyDeleteTears of joy, I hope? Autumn's going quite well so far; plenty of sunshine and not too cold.
DeleteQuite a palette of colours you have there in your lovely poem Cro.
ReplyDeleteVery colourful everywhere here, but I expect it is in Spain too.
DeleteAlas, not really. We're a little bit too far south, and not high enough in the hills to enjoy the real autumn colours. The leaves just turn a sort of dead browny gold and then drop off the trees. However we can crunch through them, before they are swept away by the wind. We also have pines which stay the same colour whatever the weather. The rest of our plants in the garden are still flowering, but not so profusely now. It's been down to 11º C so far this month, with a high of 25º on a sunny day.
DeleteI really miss the autumn colours - it's such a beautiful time of year, so thank you for posting the photo.
This made me smile. Three times. Once for Bok, once for the beautiful autumnal scene and once for your masterpiece. Is there no end to your talents?
ReplyDeleteGood; that was its purpose.
Delete"Brownly, bronze." I like it.
ReplyDeleteSimple is often the most expressive. This fits the bill.
