AUTUMN FIRES

The Season of Natural Beauty

One of our favorite places for Autumn photography are those beautiful natural wooded parks filled with all kinds of trees so we return each year to capture the beauty!

“The falling leaves drift by the window the #autumn leaves of red and gold…”

My beautiful views of Autumn from my windows of my #PromiseGardens to the #forests filled with #leaves of red and gold🍁 it is a joy and delight to behold. #jayjacyphotography #landscapes #foliage #sherandolake #sherandopark #visitvirginia #VisitVA #shenandoahvalley #shenandoah

The Marsh, My Marsh

The beautiful marshes and waterways of Amelia Island Florida bear repeating!  We are back at the Marsh again photo-walking in the peaceful serenity of this natural place with its beautiful waterways, sunrise, sunsets, pristine beauty and wildlife in abundance. It is the perfect place for rest, contemplation and photography. @jacyjoypals

“IN my sleep I was fain of their fellowship, fain
Of the live-oak, the marsh, and the main.
The little green leaves would not let me alone in my sleep;
Up-breathed from the marshes, a message of range and of sweep,
 Interwoven with waftures of wild sea-liberties, drifting,
Came through the lapped leaves sifting, sifting,
Came to the gates of sleep.

* * *

I have waked, I have come, my beloved! I might not abide:
I have come ere the dawn, O beloved, my live-oaks, to hide
 In your gospelling glooms,—to be
As a lover in heaven, the marsh my marsh and the sea my sea.

* * *

The tide ’s at full; the marsh with flooded streams
Glimmers, a limpid labyrinth of dreams.
Each winding creek in grave entrancement lies
A rhapsody of morning-stars. The skies
Shine scant with one forked galaxy,—
The marsh brags ten: looped on his breast they lie.”*
