nearing the threshold of winter
autumn lingers on
the path through the forest was coated in an inch
of snow
wound this way and that to the lake, the frozen lake
reeds
now held firm, leaned and stood with grace
reminiscent of masterful zen
brush strokes
we have had frosty mornings
for a couple of weeks
new expressions (for me)
like this spiky rime frost
(thank you Romping and Rolling in the Rockies,
for sharing the name of this frost!)
the frost grows in the direction that the weather arrives from
the west
among the gray day
i did find a splash of color

soon Autumn will turn to winter
it has has a good long season this year
though in some parts of Montana they are in winter already
with deep snow falling a few times
Lovely ending days of autumn to you
and yours
~
