Fire on the Water

Dear Diary,

We are just past peak now and the true meaning of "fall" is starting.  Now that my old Maple in the front is gone, I won't have much to rake up but there is still plenty of opportunity to photograph the "fallout".  The light was illuminating these leaves on a small brook and they looked like bits of gold.  I thought it was especially lovely.  The trees are about to show us how beautiful it is to let things go and to sink into a time of deep stillness and rest.  I love this time of year!

ps.  I've just noticed that I posted leaves on the water last year on this day!  Am I becoming too predictable?
