Pictures to inspire words and images. Poem, painting, story, play, novel, drawing, memoire, essay, sculpture, or a new photograph? Up to you. Or simply enjoy the pictures. My image is untitled to avoid guidance. But, if you want it, the title, not always helpful, is here.
Using the prompt? Post a link to your work, or the work itself, in the comments section, if you wish. If you post elsewhere, please link to this post, so more people see both our creations.
Have fun and get those creative juices flowing.
Occasionally, inspired by the image, I’ll write here:
The Golden Times
They fall and form a carpet
softening the footfalls of walkers
covering the well-worn pathways
colouring dull days with brightness
blowing a storm of gold in wild wind
decaying slowly into what will
sustain new growth in the spring to come

I don’t have as optimistic view of the leaves as I should have this week. The state of the world is a looming ghost of what might be, and it is overshadowing the positive things that are, right now. That view is mine alone, and with luck maybe something will change my pessimistic outlook. Thanks for posting.

Optimism is a difficult quality in the current times, Brenda. But the planet, at least, will continue to flourish, with or without our human contribution. Plants are astoundingly persistent as survivors, fortunately.
