October Tree

This photo is really for my friend Far From The Madding Crowd (see my blog links). He has a worthy :) tree poem on his blog right now

Taken this afternoon through my flat window.
It is a maple or sycamore of sorts.

Old Man in Rain

Autumn has come!
Let's celebrate! Oops, I dated it November...should be 20th October.

...November doesn't have any colors in the cold rain.

Rye Road Waiting

Three weeks have passed since I proclaimed the arrival of autumn: far too precipitate.

Rye Road Warming

We are waiting for trees
to turn golden, we are waiting
for days to cool us down: It's October
and too warm still.

That greenhouse effect
must have swallowed
the hype: "Think globally,
act locally."

Rye Road is waiting.
