TREES IN BACK OF MY FIELD, a photo by Louise001 on Flickr.

I took this photo yesterday of the trees in the little shopping center behind my back field....I drove up there to get a close shot...but they can be seen from my field. It is a good thing I took it yesterday because there is wind and lots of rain today...so the leaves may be gone tomorrow...

RED LEAVES ON THE GROUND

AND COVER THE GROUND
IT'S AUTUMN.

THE RAIN SLOWLY COMES
LIKE THE SOUND OF BEATING DRUMS
IT'S AUTUMN.

POEM I WROTE IN THE 4TH, 5TH OR 6TH GRADE
I think this is an example of how important teacher's approval is to children...my teacher approved and I have remembered this poem now for over 60 YEARS....
I took this photo today in my family's back yard. ALL of the RED leaves were off all the trees, and only some yellow's were left on them with some brown ones too. Mostly all Maples and Oaks. You can see some acorns also....
