Autumn Leaves





Autumn Leaves


Low sun angle, shorter days and cool nights
Slow chlorophyll production, which made leaves green

As green fades,
Yellow, orange, red and brown colors show thorough
An orchestra of colors

The tree eventually cuts the ties between branch and leaf

Then, heavy rain and wind can strip leaves from trees,
Cutting the display short and
Covering my trails in the woods

Winter is nearby and first snow is ready to fall
