Even though I live in the Deep South in the state of Louisiana now I still can picture myself standing in a very wooded lot with a lot of trees changing their color from green to yellow to red and orange. I can picture myself raking leaves and yes jumping in them once the pile is big enough usually doing this fun activity at least a few times before setting to work raking them all up and either raking them into the creek or into the woods to decay and bring forth new growth one way or another. Autumn is the season of cooler temperatures, cozy fires in the fireplace and reading a good book or making a craft of some kind. It is also season to give thanks for what you have and to look up to the Lord and tell him.

Ode to the Working Man/Woman
An ode to the working man and women. We all work in some ways, whether it be someone like the image working in a workshop with wood to someone working in computer or medical lab, or a teacher, nurse, writer or homemaker. We all work using all our specific and special talents. Whether working with wood, codes, medications/specimens, children, patients or pen and paper and a little of everything above we are all workers.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Keep your eyes open and your senses tuned or else you might miss the switch from summer to winter. I know because, I, too, live in a southern state where there or usually only two seasons opposed to one.
I love autumn and this really captured that feeling nicely! Well done!
