Fall color in the woods

I went on a 90 minute walk Saturday at the Callahan State Park in Framingham with a new bunch of people.

The color was still vibrant in places, and fading in others. 

Blue Skies

The bright crispness of a fall day.
Crystal blue skies and no wind to sway
The remaining red and gold leaves.
The bright sunlight is a tease,
A shimmer, a memory of summer.

Today is a chance for an outside walk,
Before chilling breezes and gloomy skies put a lock
To ventures outdoors.  But those forecasts are for some tomorrow.
Today our feet are prompted to follow
Blue skies, bright sun that beckon with a curved finger.
