It is the birthing of a new season and the dying of the old. Both exist together as they do with every species. This tree fern has a whiskered texture as the leaves prepare to feed the ground below. Summer is in decay, humidity and heat dissipating likewise the cicada chirps. Autumn is sprinkling it’s magical orange fairy dust as the nights close in.
The Sweet Gum leaves are not ready to surrender to old age and the invasive Tallow bewitches us with it’s exquisite oriental leaves in every season.
Yet, the seasonal food is naturally colored for autumn and contrasts so prettily with the ancient rock and lichen.

Those sure are spectacular colours Kerry. The seasonal changes are more subtle in our island where we don’t have great tracts of woodland.

Thank you – sometimes a hurricane blows them all away before they change but we are in a different weather pattern this year. I also live IN a forest. 🙂

I love the fall. Right near where I live is a massive park that is basically a forest smack dab in the middle of the city. I go running on the trails and the colours and the smell is fantastic. Great pictures.

Thank you! Our master planned city (cut down a tree or die…) is smack bang in the bottom half of the Big Thicket, an indigenous forest from the top of east Texas and west Louisiana to about 40 miles north of Houston. I do walk about 3 miles a day through the trails but the allergies are so bad that I can’t smell anything! 🙂

Gorgeous photos and thoughtful commentary, Kerry! We have a similar color mix here, with so much green yet remaining.
