Leaves Fall
iphone - Northport, NY
Purple isn't a color I notice too often. It's not bold like red;
doesn't make me stop in my tracks like an orange sky. But somehow
these purple leaves made me stop & look. In their own way, they
looked bold like red. Yup, I stopped dead in my tracks. Don't know
why. Maybe I just needed to slow down & see the picture that the
leaves were waiting for me to take.
I am not going to be able to go to the next LCP meeting, but I have done the work on the subject that was selected – Remembering
A memory fades with time. Maybe one day all I can remember from that day is that it was autumn and the leaves were yellow

Another cell phone capture. I mowed my lawn all around this reddest of
red leaves today. Every time I rode past it, I was taken in by its
redness. I knew that once my work was done, I was going to have to
photograph it with my cell phone.
Yes, I could ask, "what kind of a tree is this?" Apparently, I have not. So, I'm asking you, "what kind of a tree is this?"
"...I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully, A. Lincoln"All photos were taken at the Cave Hill National Cemetery and Arboretum in Louisville, KY
