Remembering the search for color

Yes, I was searching for fall color. It was a strange fall here, pretty late because of being really dry...and lots of trees shed before fully turning, then others just next to them were pretty for a while.





Today's Quote:

Thomas Merton: One might say I had decided to marry the silence of the forestThe sweet dark warmth of the whole world will have to be my wife. Out of the heart of that dark warmth comes the secret that is heard only in silence … Perhaps I have an obligation to preserve the stillness, the silence, the poverty, the virginal point of pure nothingness which is at the center of all other loves.

  1. It's pretty colourless here, but there would still have been a little bit at the end of October.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
