For Sherry’s Prompt at Real Toads, Wonder. I know few things more wonderful than trees and then it is trees beneath autumn skies. And the wonder of it all, they are free to us all. An American Sentence.
The River
“The river is everywhere.” – ― Herman Hesse, Siddhartha
Color changing trees stretch beneath autumn blue sky – an endless river.

So beautiful, Toni. Fall colours are why this is my favourite time of year……….when I came through the mountains the other week, it was a feast of colour.

Autumn used to be my favourite season, but now when it arrives, I look forward to spring. Winter is unkind to the elderly in my family.

I am the only elderly member left in my small family. I get through the cold okay. I love fall and winter, a lot more than I do the hot summer

The best thing about forests is that they whisper secrets to you; but so few people understand…but rivers they just babble on.

Trees…i listen to their whispering, rivers I listen to them as well.

It makes you sigh when looking at it, doesn’t it? It does seem like an endless river.
I still say trees do not have hands, though.

LOL. But they do have root systems. They entwine with other root systems, therefore holding “hands”.

Yeah I know. Personification done unironically bugs me. Personal peeve!

endless – rivers and sky – I suppose that’s why we look up and dream

I love how you can pack so much into an American sentence, Toni: colour, space, breadth and depth!

I love the wonder of that river…
Oct 20, 2019 @ 13:17:15
It never ceases to amaze me.

I just returned from a three hours long roadtrip … the wonder of changing leaves, the pines dripping with rain, the river running along side us much of the way …. you captured all of this in a few perfectly chosen words.
