Currents

The leaves tumble and twirl.


A sudden gust whirls them into spirals.


Eddies send them end over end;
brittle, they skitter on pavement.


A momentary pause before the next onslaught.


Tossed in the air,
released from their summer quarters,
at the mercy of each draft,


their dance reveals the invisible.


Edited to add: Emma from silverpebble is having a making winter bloghop.
Really fun to see what people are doing.

  2. You just wrote a poem and it's beautiful, as are your pictures.
    What a blustery day.
    It is gray today and damp.
    Yesterday evening the clouds moved in and I did take some pictures. They (not the pics.) were fantastic.

  3. I envy your blowing-leaf shots! My camera just won't catch them. It always focuses on the wrong thing.

    Hopping over from Silverpebble. Thanks for the lovely photos and words.
