Description
LeavesHow silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.
At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Elsie M Brady

Yes darn it all! I too keep running into these little children playing instruments on remote rural trails and paths. What's up with that?
And why do they call them pipers if they're playing stringed instruments?

Ha ha they call them pipers because they can't think of anything else to call them and who says it's got to make sense!!!

Well, I'm going to start a new fad and begin calling them 'stringers'.

Ah ha I should rename it Autumn Stringer or maybe Strummer!!

You do realise that I was just playing.
... although Autumn Stringer and Autumn Strummer do have their charms.
Get one with a trumpet and you can have an Autumn Strumpet!

Oh I know you were playin' but since that title had always bugged me anyway I figured why not change it? Ha ha
I'm definitely going to have to find a trumpet!!!

I want to see the strumpet with the trumpet.

Admittedly she looks a bit like a strumpet of sorts, but that is a french horn, not a trumpet

Ha ha actually I think the "she" is a "he"!

You are a master at bringing light into your compositions. I'd love to know how you do it ... but I guess it's a trade secret.

Thank you so much but actually it's no big secret at all, mostly I just use cloud photos and put the dark where I want it to be dark and the light... well you know the rest!

Well, she looks kinda lost and her sight looks also a bit strange.
Looks like she's dead and somebody drpaed her to take this shot.

This is kind of eerie since the little girl is alone. But anyway, seamless integration of the girl into the autumn background.
