October is my birth month. I’ve always had mixed feelings about that. Being born when the days are growing shorter, the nights colder, the leaves turning yellow and red in a last burst of glory before they drift away. Life coming to an end, hunkering down, readying itself for hibernation, for hiding beneath a blanket of snow. The melancholy of it all.
And yet that bright burst of glory, brief as it is! There’s nothing to compare to that. And nothing melancholy about such brilliant defiance. So, on the last day of the month, here’s to October trees, falling leaves, and bursts of glory.

Happy Birthday Month Deborah! I can understand the mixed feelings about autumn and yet the “bursts of glory” are so wonderful as you aptly demonstrated with the wonderful art selected.
Happy Bursts of Glory!
Thank you, Brad!

Thank you, flower-sister. And happy birthday to you as well.
Happy belated birthday, Deborah! Hope you had a great day. These are gorgeous! A beautiful burst of sunshine and joy on this dull, dark, grey and rainy November afternoon in the UK. And a welcome dose of cheer for all weary, dispirited hearts. Thank you. 🙂 ❤
