flower of autumn
...Thoreau's Journal: 26-Sep-1852

The increasing scarlet and yellow tints around the meadows and the river remind me of the opening of a vast flower-bud; they are the petals of its corolla, which is of the width of the valleys. It is the flower of autumn, whose expanding bud just begins to blush.

This reminds me of when I weas young and my mother and I would travel to Boone, North Carolina every October to watch the changing of the leaves. I miss the solitude and reflection we had with nature.
