The Gold Tree

A fall tree

We had a vibrant Autumn with several warm days and cool nights. My city is known for it's trees. While I was looking for items to write about in this project I spied this particular tree. It's gold was luminescent and trunk bark sharply contrasting the almost supernatural glow of the leaves.

When I found this poem the vivid color took on a new meaning to me. I absorbed the beauty of this tree while it was in this glorious state. I had no expectation that the next day would allow me even the briefest glimpse of this show.

Right now there are beautiful things to observe, but not the gold of that tree. I'm glad I stood in appreciation of that moment, that tree.
