         Autumn Lake

The grand Autumn sunset
dances with astounding clouds
in a deep-October sky
reflecting in this shimmer-ripple
   lake,
(limpid mirror of finest dreams)
rimmed by flaming-crimson
  maples,
while three tiny turtles
line a floating log to watch,
the pair-bond ducks
painting aquatic arabesques
of perfect freedom!

Sun-bathing turtles watching those duck 'arabesques' completes this Autumn scene beautifully!

I am always amazed at how many ways you can describe beauty and nature.

Well, your beautiful "Autumn Lake" instantly brought back my own lake, and though I have just been there, I wish I could sit by it again right now and watch such scenery as you so masterfully describe ... (no turtles in my own lake though, but many swans and ducks yes).

Sigh.

Love,
Margherita

4. the concept of beauty

Giving you a warm, autumnal hug,
