It’s this time of year that tests my patience. I look for the magic of Autumn to embrace the landscape, but I can’t wait too long. One day the leaves are green, the next they could be dried up and lifeless, laying on the ground, waiting for decay. Opportunities sometimes don’t present themselves. One day a tree starts to turn, the next it’s shrouded in fog, the next the colors are dull against a gray sky, the next bare branches look bleak and old, the next a naked stick figure poses for a picture. It can be frustrating, but right now, the search is on.
