Lines from a poem



A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe rich tint of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high --
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the golden-rod --
Some of us call it Autumn
And others call it God.
-William Herbert Carruth-

A stunning capture of this dramatic sky with gorgeous colors!! The flowering plant stands out nicely with the shallow DoF used.

Oh MY!!! Your first picture speaks to my heart so much. Maybe the most wonderful photo I have ever seen in my life.

I too am gasping - but as much from that being the second time in a few hours that I have heard the autumn word and also that our temps have fallen to single figures overnight... I wouldn't mind, but summer didn't get here yet!!! &*> That shot of the geese is glorious... YAM xx

Oh, this poem goes perfect with your photo, Rose. Not sure I mentioned to you before, but I love poetry. I see the geese a lot, but never flying in a bunch like this.

Perfect poem to accompany that sky as a backdrop for the geese in flight. Poem and image both call me to rejoice in Him.
