Autumn Fantasy

"O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers."
~ William Blake

Autumn Creek

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn." ~Elizabeth Lawrence

Colorful Playground

"A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart."
~Hal Borland

Admiring Gourds

"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools."
~Henry Beston

Amber's Meadow

“Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile.”
~William Cullen Bryant

First Kiss of Autumn

"Youth is like spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits." ~Samuel Butler

Autumn Watercolors

"Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson, Yet our full-leaved willows are in the freshest green. Such a kindly autumn, so mercifully dealing With the growths of summer, I never yet have seen."
~ William Cullen Bryant

Time of the Season

"For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad." ~Edwin Way Teale

A Portrait of Fall

"How beautifully the leaves grow old. How full of light and color their last days."

~John Burroughs

Colors of Autumn

"I love the leaves; I do not know why.
Is it their colors or how they fly?
They crunch and crinkle under my feet;
I pile them up and take a leap!"

~Beth Paulsen
