Had a lovely drive along the Black River last week, enjoying the glories of autumn. Colors are just peaking here, but the beauty of the river and the beginning of color filled my happy basket.
Though snaky limbs hold
sway - no saving stubborn leaves

Serenity flows
Burbling a bewitching song
Never looking back
