And gently as the sun goes down

The smoke from bonfires all around.

The hedgehog and the squirrel gone to ground

Grandpa shows the lad the acorns and pine combs he has found.

Twirls of mist at morn and dusk chill the bones

Lights on for breakfast and for tea  in cozy looking homes.

Magical leaves dance;
Fallen trees hieroglyphics,

I have another magical picture and poem from Lavender Moon Girl, sharing glorious images and magnificent minutiae. 🙂

Magnificent minutiae
Of nature’s manuscript.
