Sunday Quotation


The Fall of the Leaf



In the beginning of the world we presume all things to have been
produced in their best state; all was perfect, and yet how soon a decay!

All was summer, and yet how soon a fall of the leaf!


John Donne

  3. Super photograph Friko. Autumn is pretty special when it comes to colour, don't you think?

  4. What a beautiful fall photo. A carpet of red leaves. Our red is found in the morning and evening skies, but I do miss the lovely colors of the leaves when fall arrives.

  5. Asking for time to see, what may lie beneath winter's white snow.

    A wonderful life filled week to you.

    Weatherwise, it is still 27 during the day and one is able to sleep without a blanket. Enjoy autumn.

  8. Great quotation. How soon, how soon, indeed. (Not that I'm thinking of my wrinkles and flabby bits ... or is that bringing it down to far too mundane a level?)
