on the last day of autumn the ginkgo’s golden beauty peaked…
the smoke bush sparkled with rain drops…
the camellia’s were already falling to the ground, dying beautifully…
the magnolia buds readied themselves for their winter show…
the secret seat by the ferns was lonesome for company…
the sun tried to peek out…
but on the last day of autumn it felt like winter…
the hydrangeas were mostly bare of their lush green leaves…
the flowers began fading into their decaying winter shades…
the lake reflections were dark and chilly…
and the last of the tulip tree leaves tumbled down in front of me…
farewell autumn, you’ve been swell…
come on winter, give me your best shot…
bring it on…
wishing you a peaceful farewell to the season, and a toasty warm embrace to the new one x

The ginkgos are beacons of light and sunshine on a grey day aren’t they! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
