I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Novemberings

Fall came late this year in New England.

It’s as though Mother Nature is struggling to catch up.  I get that.

Many trees in my neighborhood turned brilliant colors.

But some dropped their leaves before changing hue, like they were just too exhausted to make the effort. 

I get that, too.

Beautiful! And of course, poetic too. ;) It's been a beautiful season this year. Odd, but I won't complain about and extended warm season!

Nice Heron. Nice photos. I can really relate with those trees that just got rid of their leaves without changing colors.
