The Ghost of Summer Two blue herons dance with the smoke and mist across a cloud-swept and pensive grey October sky, here on this wind-flickering forest edge where lichens slowly spread, like a lovely velveteen disease, along a broken stone wall and path to nowhere through the dead-rainbow leaves that spread all around. All speak in silence of grand-inevitable transience, change, and loss to come, as Autumn tarries for one last bright-delicious lingering moment of the ‘now,’ like a half full glass of wine forgotten. Is that distant, wistful sigh just a hint of Wintry chill or the ghost of Summer passing by? --- b. e. adams (10/7/2013) |

You really are on a roll, Bruce! I love the haunting quality of this impressionistic masterpiece painting in its eerie mystery and magic of hazy soft blue-grey and grey-green shadowy backgrounds to a moment of autumn splendour. Owl |

Terrific write, my friend. "Two blue herons dance with the smoke and mist across a cloud-swept and pensive grey October sky, . . . " is one of those I wish I had written that, pieces. j. |
