"The air is as cool as an old coin teaspoon and a faint tang of blue wood smoke spices the air. The color of the great sugar maples is so dazzling it seems I must have dreamed it." Gladys Taber
These trees aren't sugar maples, but I think the colors of Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttallii) trees are just as beautiful. I didn't think we'd get much color this autumn because it's been so very dry, but there are spots of color here and there. Thank goodness! I can't imagine living, or being happy, where autumn brings no change...
Such wonderful colours to see where you live, here the autumn colours are mainly the oranges & yellows.Love that red of the Cornus.
ReplyDeleteDear Victoria - beautiful quote - read Gladys Taber's books years ago...makes me think they need a revisit. The picture is beautiful and I certainly wouldn't want to live where autumn did not arrive. Have a lovely day friend.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I'm glad you enjoyed the photo.
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I reread her books every now and then...it's nice to think of a time when the world wasn't so crazy.
That is a beautiful quote! So tangible!
