a wind has blown

a wind has blown the rain away and blown
the sky away and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.  I think i too have known
autumn too long

Oh, that's just beautiful.

Agreed

Very beautiful.

Except that where I sit, I can see one of the many pin-oaks I planted 'round the property. Not to mention the hemlock, fir, spruce, etc.

Pinoaks pretty much hang onto their leaves until spring :-)

Perhaps it's just easier to love autumn and the wind blowing, and the rain and the dead leaves like a blanket when so much remains green and leaf (or needle) clad.

There are large stretches where we still have the flaming red, or shining yellow -- plus, of course, the conifers.

But stretches of leafless, skeletal trees are making this properly New England November.

Glad you like it
