October

The seasons are turning and the dark winter is beginning to encroach more and more.  Here in Georgia the air feels dry.  There is an edge in the atmosphere.  So perfectly in tune with this season of death I have been noticing the activity of the crows and vultures more.  Squirrels are active on the ground.  All of a sudden the leaves are changing into the pallet of Autumn.  Take note of the leaves as they fall.  Which ones fall first?  And from where?  Is it random?  Do they fall from the bottom of the tree?  Nearest the trunk?  Or from the top?  Which colors do you notice the most?  The sky is slowly becoming more visible leaving more and more dappled light on the forest floor. The birds move around in guilds and migrants move swiftly through the night.   The earth will soon slumber as our home fires call to us more and more.  Enjoy the weather.  It is wonderous.
