whispers

By

From my kitchen window I watch them fall.  Autumn’s leaves letting go and descending to the earth.  Some so graceful dancing on every breeze, others twirling and playful like a child, then a few taking a direct descent as if they can’t fall fast enough.  I find myself mesmerized and remembering this proverb, “The fall of a leaf is a whisper to the living.”  This makes me smile as I return my gaze back out my window, mindful of the whispers.

What is whispering in your ear?  Won’t you show us?

  7. wow. {i just watched a leaf fall after i typed that… as i was thinking what to write next 🙂 }

    this is simple and quiet and peaceful. i love that you included the proverb. and the photo… perfect. i have tried to capture a falling leave with my camera this year. not easy to do. you’ve done it so well.

    i was at this forest preserve about a month ago:

    it was so quiet there, the only thing i heard was a whisper of wind through the acres and acres of tall prairie grass {which was incredible}. but it seems like a lot of things have been whispering to me lately. clouds. light coming through windows. i’ve been in a quiet mood and taking a lot of "quiet" pictures lately.

  9. oh how I love this image, I have tried many times to catch one like this! beautiful quote, things are not whispering in my ear, lately they are yelling in my ear!
