Hidden Path
For here lies a forest path,
hidden from the casual glance,
where silent steps could tread in summer past,
now bring rustling commotion.

We can always talk about the weather…especially these days
This has been a protracted Fall. It seems to be happening in stages with some nice foliage colors at each stage — not the impact of when they all turn at once, but still nice.
Perhaps it’s the weather. Week to week, or even day to day, I’m never certain what to expect so why would trees be any less confused.
Venice, Italy
Venice, Italy After landing at Milan we rented a car and drove about three hours to the Hotel Tritone located in Mestre, a 30 minute bus ride outside of Venice. There’s many hotels in Venice proper but staying at one means you have to haul you luggage via water taxi or water bus…not something we wanted to do. We purchased a pass which gave us free access to the both the regular buses lines and the Venice water buses for a 24 hour period so we could hop on and off at our discretion.
Great perspective Earl. I don’t see much commotion though, seems quite peaceful. :-)
That “rustling commotion” comes with each noisy step. Thanks :-)
I like the thought that accompanies this fine autumn leaves on the ground shot. Beautiful colors in among the all the leaves.
Don, thanks. The angle of the sun gave some backlighting to the leaves bringing out the last of their color. Thanks one of the things that attracted me to this shot.
I really like the color and perspective on this, Earl. Tell me – what is the red at the top center of the frame, a reflection? I admit that my eye is drawn right to it.
Ken, The sky was a bit cloudy/hazy and that red in the center is the edge of the morning sun’s halo as it was rising over the hill.
I love hiking in the fall / winter, nothing like it! this photo brings me right back to the woods, thanks for the free trip!
NR, one of my favorite things as well. Thanks.
Good feeling from this Earl.
We sorta went straight to the winter rain with no real fall here this year. I miss that wading in the leaves sound.
Ray, I’d miss this experience too. It’s one of those things I love about fall. Thanks.
What a beautiful poem to go with that great image – I particularly like how the light falls onto the leaves. Bravo!
