autumn in waynorth

a few hardy leaves still cling to the naked trees. the tawny fields twnkle with litters of bright tree garments. they lay like scattered treasure, bright coins under the deep, aching blue and pewter of an autumn sky. the color of evergreens intensifies. almost all on tera firma but them are painted in a monotone of earth colors - buff and tan, gold and ochre. the greens are strong and vibrant, a reminder of life goning dormant till the spring's sun and warm rains revive it once more. thrilling touches of low-growing red are all that's left of summer's heat.
