Who wouldn't love the green world bursting into so many colors...and tones you can't imagine?
I loved to do my gradeschool artwork with chalk on black paper, leaves and grasses bright in Fall's display.

Dad was a fisherman, so my youngest memories are of throwing in a line with a cane pole and watching it drift with the current. Ripples on the water teasing the bobber and his earnest reminder to,
"Wait for it to disappear."

Fleeting clouds or....a pink sunset, what do you see?
When you stop long enough...
'to really SEE'.
