I really love your writing, your beautiful ode to autumn 🍁🍂 Autumn is my favorite season because I love stillness 💛🌟 And in stillness I notice every single birdsong, a mushroom or a leaf falling❣️ Thank you Rob🍂🍁💛
There is nothing like being present in the forest. So much happening all around you. Sometimes, it's only noticed when you sit and be still. It's not always as easy as it sounds. Thank you for the encouragement and thank you for taking the time to read what I've written. Substack is so full of gifted writers it's difficult to find the time to read them all.
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 :)
Wonderful writing, really captured the transition of the seasons. Thank you.

"A requiem for summers passing..." Beautiful!
Robert, what a glorious writer you are describing Autumn! 🍂 Thank you 😊 xx
This transports me there, to where your boots are quietly treading. It is beautiful

This narrative sounds like gently falling rain. Lovely.
Beautiful writing and imagery!
