Looking toward November 2023

 

foreground ripe cherry tomato surrounded by frost-bitten leaves in bright sun
Round red tomatoes
Beckon picking before frost
Tasting of summer

mass of tangled, frost-bitten tomato plants with some green and some ripe cherry tomatoes in the distance
Leaves bitten by frost
Late fruit awaits on the vine
This year's garden done

overcast woods damp after drizzle on rigid green stems of horsetail (equisetum) on pale yellow background of fall leaves
Stiff green horsetails stand
Awaiting the winter cold
Then spring warmth again

damp forest floor scattered with fall leaves and peppered with small mushrooms rising
Fungi in color
In the mild October woods
Soon back underground

long ago fallen tree trunk damp on forest floor scattered with the latest colored leaves this fall
Long fallen old tree
With colored leaves all around
Still more drift down now

Color drifts quietly
As fall turns from mild to frost
Branches bare at last 

riverbank of tall trees in bright fall colors as seen from kayak
Wall of color calm
River flows quietly down
Through October's end

single yellow maple leaf rests on decaying trail signboard surrounding by years of fallen leaves
Year after year leaves
Falling to turn into dust
Entropy for all
