And how beautifully you honor them in words and picture, dear Alison. Their last hours are sweeter because of you.

Love,

I often wonder how they endure this each year. You paint a vivid picture of it all

You do these so well! There are battles all around us in nature, but they go unnoticed by most people ~ but not our Lasky Girl photographer/poetess!

Ooo... a Haiku!

And a beautifully metaphorical one too, Alison.

Love and hugs, Luke.

And all the roads that I've been strolling down... now I've found they all seem to be marooned. So profoundly doomed.

Nice picture of the Autumn leaves and very expressive words to go with it.

Thank you all very much .. you are special to me, each of you.

I have to let you in on something that just cracked me up though. I designed my girl friend's wedding invitation and started it after this haiku. I used this leaf picture as the base of her invitation. When I came here now I saw the title of this haiku and laughed.

Isn't that too funny for a wedding invitation picture?

I love you all,
