Autumn progressing in the Preserve

Nature's first green to gold...... Maple forest glory at Raymer's Cove. Gisela Kutzbach

Nothing Gold Can Stay    –    Robert Frost
 Nature's first green to gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
​Nothing gold can stay.

The hardest hue to hold.... Maple forest glory viewed from the lake. Arlene Koziol

...then leaf subsides to leaf. Gisela Kutzbach
