The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
~ George Eliot

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

Beautiful, Susan! As always, your meld of other's words with your photos is wonderful...

Wow! I can imagine myself disappearing into these scenes and feel the warm sunshine on my face contrasting with the cool autumn breeze gently brushing my hair, the crisp smell of the woods, and hear the crunch of leaves under my feet. Thanks for the trip.

I agree with George Eliot. An entire year of Autumn would be devine
