A wind has blown the rain away
and blown the sky away
and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.
I think, I too, have known autumn too long.

the days
are dreary now
the color blown
away and dropped
the sky has
forgotten all but gray
muted
the sun hides

Beautiful words from e e cummings.
It's seem too early in the season to have dreary days; we are heading back into the 70s today; the night air's crisp, though, the constant harbinger.
i like your words best, miss susie.
blessings.
but the Son still shines!
There is still beauty all around as your picture clearly shows.
It's still here, the beauty!! You just have to look a little harder to find it!!
Your image and reflection are gorgeous!!
i enlarged this and it is even more startling the bigger it gets. i studied it but can't quite tell what it is that makes the lines. the reflections is just gorgeous
Fall is such a beautiful season, too bad its so short. Right now we still have yellow leaves on the trees and snow on the branches....looks kind different!
Sandra, the lines are the boards on the deck.
Dreary here too, but this photo was a great catch!
A perfect and accurate post of life here in Toronto today.

Those kinds of days make me a bit sad. What beautiful words Susan, and the picture is just wonderful.
Beautiful words ....
Amazing Image!
Wow, great photo Susan, it almost looks like ice. Say it's not ice, please say it not ice.....
Now I have a difficult time when the color is blown away. One nice thing in winter is our grass is green from the moisture. I must look at the good or I do get depressed. So far autumn is very pretty.
Very beautiful. Your weather sounds like good snuggling weather for little Callie. You two have a nice week.
Love the late fall reflections. Wonderful post, and great thoughts to ponder.
it's time to dig out my longs sleeved shirts and my socks. Actually, i think i'd better put socks on my shopping list.
i like the reflective photo and the words.
I like those reflections ~ cool! Dreary days make for good snoozing days. ;)

What an incredible photo! We're supposed to get back up into the 80s later this week. Summer seems to be hanging on here.
Oh, it does sound bleak...but the magic of the first snow will cure all that.
Ah, yes, the melancholy days have arrived. It is the same here too. We've had so many gray and rainy days lately. And the bright leaves are falling fast. LOVELY image today, Susan :o) ((HUGS))
So beautiful!
I love these moments of seeing the familiar in a new way. The ordinary that is art asking the question,
"Is anything ever ordinary?"
I love that you share it with us too! x
These words describe how I feel as the days are dreary here too
beauty to be found in all ~ enjoyed scrolling through your beautiful pictures and reading your heartfelt words. Hope you have enjoyed your time with your precious friend.
I am in love with that photo! And those words could not be more appropriate for this grey season descending upon us. I'm steeling myself for what is to come...
Stunningly beautiful and interesting. Lovely words too.
hmm...thank you, Susan :)
Nice poetry.."color blown away" I like it very much!
Once again your words and you photo go perfectly together. The sun is still bright here in the desert. It's chilly in the evenings but still warm during the day. I just love this time of year. A break from those hot temps.
Hugs~
An interesting image and description of late Autumn.
wow....you truly made a wet deck look amazingly beautiful !
That photo is so awesome! I love the reflections in it!
Susan, not only is this unusual, it is absolutely beautiful! Nicely done!
The coolest photo ever. Even when color flees beauty remains...
at first, there is something
restful
in the newly gray.
i'm not there yet
but when it comes
i enjoy for awhile.
a short while.
love and thanks to you
for the beauty you share,
Jennifer
What an incredible reflection. Kind of catty-wampus. Where were you?
I came over here from Thistle Cove Farm, and can't get away, I am so taken with your photos. I sent this one (the link) to my three daughters, it's so lovely.
oops...it was actually from letterstoemily I wandered in. ;-)
Neat! Took a few seconds to get the whole photo inserted properly. In an instant, it seemed that the reflection was through a window blind. But got it right. And it's really neat, as I already said. Good job.
i have had those same feelings Mr. Cummings. xox
