Autumn or Spring?

Click on any image to see slideshow.

April or September

There’s a chill in the air

Colors catch my eye

Slipping free of winter

Chase the roses

From summer’s embers

Green carpets laid

Accent red furnishings

Into wooded streams

A Common-Place Jotting: “Nothing Gold Can Stay”

Common-Place or “Locus Communis” — a place to remember

Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica)

Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost, “Nothing Gold Can Stay” (1874-1963)
