Late summer and early fall are harvest times for wheat, grapes and pumpkins. Chrisanthemums and autumn leaves add even more color. These items swirl together to create an elegant kaleidoscope suggesting the fall season.

Every season hath its pleasures;
Spring may boast her flowery prime,
Yet the vineyard’s ruby treasures
Brighten Autumn’s soberer time.
So Life’s year begins and closes;
Days tho’ shortening still can shine;
What tho’ youth gave love and roses,
Age still leaves us friends and wine.

Gorgeous shot, Jade…did you save any for us? Unfortunately, hot bread and butter is one of my big downfalls. Congratulations on your feature!
Thank you, Gloria! Alas, the bread is long gone. It’s even good cold with sharp cheddar cheese. ☺♥
