Lovely.. Im excitedly waiting for Autumn to come around here. Except for cooler evenings and acorns falling like rain...its still late summer here in West TN
Beautiful words on the 'lasts' of Autumn. I'm always so full of melancholy when I realize that certain species have left as the days grow colder. We still have Goose, Swan and Wood Ducks on our lake. Any day now that lake and the sky will fill with hundreds of Geese as they start moving towards warmer waters. It's so lovely to watch, but also bittersweet.
The great migration is on up here in Ontario. I’ve been to Port Stanley and Hawk Cliff a bunch of times. I cannot believe how many vultures are passing over this year. I honestly don’t remember them as a kid. Looking forward to the red tails and red shoulders in the next week.
Yes the hawks are still coming through. Most of our song birds have departed. The forest is quiet. Turkey vultures were virtually nonexistent in our part of Ontario in the late sixties early seventies. When I go back up around Grey Bruce area there are plenty of them as well as bald eagles and ravens!
A truly beautiful piece of writing, today I was dreading the shorter days brought by autumn but this has reminded me there are plenty more things to be grateful for as the seasons change
Beautiful Rob. I want to be there. Love the image with your Shepherd. I am thanking God for the cooler overcast weather in SoCal today. Not a peep of fall in sight except for the orange, greeen/red tinsel of everything in the market. lol. However, we are staying home for Christmas this year and bound to see fall then :)
Still see my avian companions in my front yard, a blue jay couple, a cardinal couple, sparrows, starlings, mourning doves, and a couple of crows (who do not take seeds or nuts, but observe from up high). This accounts for the avians, who seem determined to stay here in urban Toronto, along with my many furry companions.
Wonderful writing, really captured the transition of the seasons. Thank you.

This narrative sounds like gently falling rain. Lovely.
