the ice crystals cut my eyes in two

 

 

the ice-crystals

cut

my eyes in two

 

I looked from one

and I saw the surface veins

of the last leaves left

 

and I looked from the other

and I saw

the coal-black depth

of frozen water

It's a dull and over-cast day at David Austin Roses but none the worse for it. The beautiful colours of Autumn remain vibrant beneath the scudding clouds overhead.

the slow dance of falling leaves

 

Autumn is such a fantastic season. The youthful,strident colours of summer fade and turn,revealing a richer, deeper beauty beneath. A slow dance of falling leaves that remind us of our own mortality.

We walk in silence, taking in the scents and sights all around us. It's quiet here. A cool, grey Autumn morning.
