Autumn Colours
by Christopher Morley
The chestnut trees turned yellow,
The oak like sherry browned,
The fir, the stubborn fellow,
Stayed green the whole year round.
But O the bonny maple
How richly he does shine!
He glows against the sunset
Like ruddy old port wine.
Pictures for October
Went off to post a letter and do some work in nearby town (well, technically city actually *g*), and was distracted by taking a wee walk around the Bishop's Palace... I thought I'd done well getting this first pic in the carpark by the library, but then I found more autumn. *g*
Prosfic for October
Continuing my project, I read a story called Rules of the Game this morning, which started out interestingly enough, and then descended into something that didn't work for me (bit too soppy and not-them in some ways, though there were some decent bits too). Turns out it was the story by Anne Carr.
In other fic news, I'm vaguely wondering whether to sign up for Yuletide this year. I might still be put off, cos it seems complicated, but maybe it would help get me writing again? Something surely should... *sighs* If I did it would be KJ Charles books, Astreiant, Mathey/Lynes fic...
...and the Lads!

There's definitely some beautiful places within - well, maybe not shouting distance, but.... well, something clever about the sound of car engines... *g*
