This last day of the year I had to drive to town
Riding along the road I saw the sun go down
I had my camera with me and pictures I did take
I'll show you what I saw and it was not a fake



Shining through the wood the sun was not so bright
All the trees together made it some special light
This is a little bush, rare orchids grow up here
The camping had to go to rescue plants so dear



Just behind the trees she made me feel so rich
By shining all her orange in this waterditch
I stood there for a while quiet enjoying the sun
I knew the store was nearly closed so I had to run



Then I turned around and saw a different light
Opposite of the sun but still a pretty sight
The land is laying in rest waiting for the cold
And all the trees are leaveless looking very bold



And then a little further the sun was saying goodbye
To the last day of this year and I could only sigh
This was the best farewell to a very hectic year
It was as if she knew we'd shed so many a tear

For me the New Year has begun I have a wish for thee
I'll say to you my dearest friends: LET's WRITE POETRY

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Beautiful words and photos, Titia.
I agree, let's write lots in the New Year. I for one, am happy to see the sun go down on 2001. I keep hoping though, that this one will be better.
Happy 2002

Too many of you to reply all in person.
Thanks dear friends for your lovely comments.

Balladeer, you'd be surprised, I'm an angel in disguise, but the place I live is real LOL

Have to go to work tomorrow, so it's bedtime
