~~Bad Haiku Friday~~


It is a grand day
If for no other reason
Because it's Friday


On this Fall weekend
Get in your car and travel
The roads of color


The sweet calm sunshine of October, now
    Warms the low spot; upon its grassy mold
The purple oak-leaf falls; the birchen bough
    drops its bright spoil like arrow-heads of gold.

-   William Cullen Bryant

  6. What a lovely photo of fall color. I took your haiku's advice and looked for some myself, today, but since I live in Florida autumn color is hard to come by. I was surprised, though, by a lovely red maple flaming scarlet at a local park!

  8. Wonderful photo of autumn, and I love your words too. Get out into the car, out on the roads and see the glorious colours of autumn, it is such a beautiful settled season. We are enjoying spring with all her fickle ways - sun rain wind calm hot cold - that's spring!

  9. Lovely! Beautiful pictures. :) I love it how the leaves turn orange and red...we don't have that here in HI, so seeing any picture of them is a real treat! :)
