Getting To Know Me

I've been passing this farm, barn and pasture for years. 

Every season it shows another facet of itself.

Yesterday all was ready for the pending winter months ahead....

tractors/machinery snuggled up close to barn,

doors and windows closed.

It was quiet and no activity at all.

Most of the trees had shed their leaves

with the exception of those stubborn ones

which hang on for dear life

and change into these beautiful

rust and orange colours.

 Autumn brings so much change 

to the painted landscape

that I find myself grasping

on to any colour I can see.

Maybe it is human nature

to want colour.

Maybe it is an essential element

to us humans.

All I know is that as beautiful as

the first snowfall is 

I find myself looking forward

for the first hints of spring

and the colours it brings back
