We woke up later than we should. Our room was dark. No sun entered the windows to rouse us from bed. My eyes were heavy. The grey morning was pushing down my lids. But it was after 7 a.m. and I would make us late for Mass if I tarried longer. When I got a hold of my senses, I heard the soft pitter-patter on our window panes and the slosh of puddle as the cars went by. It was raining. Thirty minutes later, we were cruising down the interstate. While my husband was concentrating on the road, I was looking at the trees by the roadside. How the colors have changed in just a week. While I always appreciated the brilliance of the leaves under a glowing sun, today I appreciated the shadows and the way the reds and oranges complemented the misty grey of the morning. rains showered on autumn turning leaves flooded the ground naked trees shiver
My second and more conventional entry for WPC: H2O
Red maple leaves, my favorite! Autumn leaves when their scent brought out by the rain, ❤️☺️
It is amazing how quickly the seasons can turn. The reds and oranges can look very beautiful, even in gloomy weather.
‘Naked trees shivered’… I loved that! Diane

Wow… wow
