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.

Thanks Laurie! Here is a view from the deck steps.

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!

I have seen the Atlantic region in summer & late spring. I think it would be extra beautiful in the Fall.
