The Way of November

The Way of November © 2010 Bo Mackison

A few days ago the burning bush near my front door was alive with deep red hues, colors leaping brightly about in the winds, an aura of reds. The bush was living up to its name.

Yesterday, only a few leaves remained, now pale in color – the color sucked from the fragile leaves.

That is the way of November.
