Autumn – Thursday Challenge

November 1, 2006 at 5:09 pm (Thursday Challenge)

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
– Robert Frost

I’m almost a week late so I won’t worry about getting on the blogroll for this one, but this is my photo on the theme of Autumn. I just took this from my backyard – the brown tree is ours and the gold one is the neighbor’s. I love the way the light is shining through at a slant, like the last rays of summer trying to hold back the inevitable.
