OCTOBER TREE LIGHT!
Autumn colour adds a whole new dimension to our days here in Ontario.
Before the snow flies, there is a kaleidoscope of amazing hues to free us each day.
It has a tendency to draw me in, almost in a meditative way. This is usually a good thing, certainly, inspires my writing!
In response to Laurie Kolp’s meditative prompt, I selected this tree that gives me much cause to pause throughout the year.
2012 TREE LIGHT!
Thanks Laurie! Here is a view from the deck steps.

It is a beautiful symphony! Thanks for sharing.
Laurie, thanks for the prompt!
We are so lucky here in Atlantic Canada too, we also get to see Autumn in full swing. It is such a beautiful thing too isn’t it!
Lovely tree and Haiku.
I have seen the Atlantic region in summer & late spring. I think it would be extra beautiful in the Fall.
Thanks for stopping by!
A beautiful inspirational view, inspiring a lovely haiku.

Thanks, Kay! This tree is a treasure to me!
I want to say, “she,”…she is so simply graceful and beautiful…reminds me of a ballerina on tip-toe with her brilliant yellow tu-tu puffing in the wind dramatically!!
Inspiring tree indeed, Patricia. Thank you for sharing “her,” with us!
Graceful and beautiful, I agree! The amount of luminosity each year is astounding!
Even in winter the shadows cast on the snow are impressive too!
Delightful
Margaret, thanks!
I like the autumn rhapsody ~
Grace,
!
aloha PM27 – beautiful photo and i’m sure a great focus point for meditation. if that were in my back yard at the moment i think a visual meditation would be my choice. cool on haiku-ing to this too – i like your “autumn rhapsody” it took off into this for me:
all the color
in my backyard corner

i hope you dont mind me leaving it here. aloha
Hi there,
The tree is a real eye-catcher & invites a meditative moment. Glad it inspired some words for you in your aloha setting!
Looking our the back window… Zen moment indeed!
Kim, So great that we have these surroundings to give us a Zen moment or two, eh????
