Snapshot Saturday: October 12

Snapshot Saturday is hosted at West Metro Mommy Reads. All photos must be originals.

Last Saturday this tree in my backyard (center) was mostly green with just a few leaves turning red, now a week later it is in full autumn display. I bet next next Saturday the majority of its leaves will be on the ground. (Trees shown left to right:Variegated Japanese Willow, Purple Mountain Ash, Sweetgum.)


“Look, the trees are turning their own bodies
into pillars of light,
and giving off the rich fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment..."
                    -portion of poem by Mary Oliver
