This is not the end.

Brilliant, they fall through chill air

Provender for Spring

Anyone who follows me on Vocal knows I love the colors of Fall. I also love the metamorphosis that follows.

    Autumn is nature's last display before the bleakness of winter! It deserves to be celebrated like fireworks! Excellently captured and written here Dana!

    Makes me think how leaves let go, somehow knowing they will form part of spring. Can I let go, too? 🍂🍁

    Fall is my Kenny's favorite season, and the one in which I begin my struggle with death blazing all around me. I appreciate this view from you. Bless.

    I always loved the idea that autumn is just the beginning of a cycle. That's why I love proper seasons (even though we don't really have them where I live). Well done.

  • I love (this is not the end) I use it to live by lol
