Colour and Monochrome

A monochrome swan,
In this saturated world,
Shows a simple grace.


Gave myself an hour off work today, to go to Sheffield Park and look at the glorious autumn trees.  A lot of other people seemed to have had the same idea ... never mind.  This swan was oblivious to it all. Shortly after I took this picture it flopped into the water in a rather ungainly manner....  ...  looks can be deceiving! 


Extra haiku to go with extra image:


A dying leaf shines, 
Lit by the late burning sun,
To shine as pure gold.
