Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay

Only lovers
see the fall
a signal end to endings
a gruffish gesture alerting
those who will not be alarmed
that we begin to stop
in order to begin
again.
Maya Angelou, Late October

Come, I'll trace you one final autumn,
and you can trace your last homecoming
into the snow or the sun.
Annie Finch, Final Autumn

Harvest Moon, Neil Young

So Far Away, Carole King

We May Never Pass This Way (Again), Seals and Crofts

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Lovely colorful scene with a glow overall. An appropriate image to go with the quotes.

Very lovely scene and the treatment gives it an impressionistic quality. Good one John.

Some really heartfelt comments about the songs on youtube John.
Beautiful photo, quotes and music as we near the end.
Faith will keep us going.
Who better then Frost to talk about autumn/fall??

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

John, I really thought at first sight that the forest was in fire. But at closer (full screen size) look I came at ease by seeing that it's a product of your creativity, 😜 !
Quotes and music links are well chosen (per usual).
