There is treasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
There is nothing quite as centering for me as nature, and one doesn’t have to travel to the middle of nowhere to see it. Nature, it seems, regardless of how we dispose of it, comes back again and again.
Below, photos I took last Sunday during my urban walk…
It’s fall again…

I could almost smell the leaves and the crisp fall air. Very healing stuff, Diana, especially with that other season coming soon!

Yes, that other season. I’m not sure I am ready for it, but we had a glorious summer and so I am less resistant, Jim. ♡

We have had so little fall color this season…it’s all “brown and down”. Still, my favorite season. Your photos are lovely, D.
