THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

serene atmosphere.
Wonderful I love this time of the day when everything looks so magic
eventhough I don't experience it a lot as I usually miss this time of the day
I just love the reflected of the water. It' s so peaceful
What a beautiful pair of Haiku! "Whispering moment" is a very sweet line. You actually created serenity!
Good shot.
