November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.
- Clyde Watson

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the
landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.
- Andrew Wyeth

Colors burst in wild explosions
Fiery, flaming shades of fall
All in accord with my pounding heart
I Thought it was nice to bring back this colourful post. Autumn is still here and the colors are very bright.

Love,
Vicky


Behold the autumn-weaver
In bronze and yellow dying
Colors unfold into dreams
In hordes of a thousand and one
The bleeding
Unwearing their masks to the last notes of summer
Their flutes and horns in nightly swarming
Colors burst within
Spare me those unending fires
Bestowed upon the flaming shades of fall
- Dark Tranquility, With the Flaming Shades of Fall

There is a harmony
In autumn, and a lustre in its sky,
Which through the summer is not heard or seen,
As if it could not be, as if it had not been!
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Good of you to bring back this post Vicky.
There are so many nice old posts here and it would be a pity to leave them buried and forgotten.

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns.
- George Eliot

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year,
bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such
superb colour effects as from August to November.
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

It is wonderful of you to bring back this beautiful thread Vicky.

Listen! the wind is rising,
and the air is wild with leaves,
We have had our summer evenings,
now for October eves!

- Humbert Wolfe

I found this lovely image on one of the old posts.

Thank you Vicky, and thank you everyone for adding your beautiful colours to this old post.



There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots
may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on
the feelings, as now in October.

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Our colourful fall is still very beautiful.



When I speak
My lips feel cold -
The autumn wind.
- Basho

Thank you yoko.

You have been very busy adding a lot of vibrant color to this thread.

Love, Inda

It is only her in large portions of Canada that wonderous second wind,
the Indian summer, attains its amplitude and heavenly perfection, -- the
temperatures; the sunny haze; the mellow, rich delicate, almost
flavoured air: Enough to live -- enough to merely be.
- Walt Whitman, Diary in Canada

It was one of those perfect English autumnal days
which occur more frequently in memory than in life.
