If a tree Falls in the forest...

What creates the magic of the trees in fall? Is it their colors or the fact that we will miss them when they're gone, that we miss the green of summer? Exhibit A: four magical photos of fall in the Adirondacks, almost as if they had sprung from Dutch paintings. Read and see more at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Tree magick

No one told you
to hurry up and prepare the way --
the time comes when
the time comes already,
and you are merely
in the right place,
by chance or by design
no one's the wiser.
A mountain whispered
in my ear that you
were late to bed and late
to rise; is it true?
I'd have to say that you
put up for all appearances
a pretty nice front --
the even-tempered sort,
the kind of honest sport
one likes to get to know.
