Goldcrest

“Come, little leaves,” said the wind one day,

“Come o'er the meadows with me and play;

Put on your dresses of red and gold,

For summer is gone and the days grow cold.”

Soon as the leaves heard the wind’s loud call,

Down they came fluttering, one and all;

Over the brown fields they danced and flew,

singing the glad little songs they knew.

“Cricket, goodbye, we’ve been friends so long;

Little brook, sing us your farewell song;

Say you are sorry to see us go;

Ah, you will miss us, right well we know.

"Dear little lambs in your fleecy fold,

Mother will keep you from harm and cold;

fondly we watched you in vale and glade;

Say, will you dream of our loving shade?”

Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went;

Winter had called them, and they were content;

soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds,

The snow laid a coverlid over their heads.

(Poet: George Cooper.)

** (The thermometer beside our cabin door, read 24 F. degrees this morning. Autumn winds have been blowing leaves from the trees, leaving a blanket of gold on the forest floor. Snow is making its way down our tallest mountain peaks, and road construction is winding down.

Warmer jackets now hang beside our cabin door, and winter boots have been placed beneath them.

Doc has removed our truck camper and winterized it - (one of the last big chores of the season). All of our winter provisions have been stored, and now we await our first snowfall. )

Come walk with me

Along the sea

Where dusk sits on the land

And search with me

For shells are free,

And treasures hide in sand.

I captured this photo in Haines Alaska, as storm clouds swirled over the mountains leading to a torrential downpour.
