I hope you've had a beauty of a fall. We have. Every day I look at look.

We don't have changing leaves.<br /><br />Stately cactus<br />Arms raised<br />Gracing the skyline<br />Until the arrival of<br />Autumn and if there is<br />Rain, the seams<br />Open wider. (The prickly spines on the saguaro run in vertical seams and when it rains or is dry, the seams open and close like an accordion so the cactus can hold more water.) Thanks for letting me play.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-35095224231638722742013-10-25T14:51:58.886-04:002013-10-25T14:51:58.886-04:00I had to leaf a comment and tell you that was tree...I had to leaf a comment and tell you that was tree-mendous! I really like how you branched out into something different and got right to the root of your subject. <br /><br />OK. I 'ought-um' stop this before you bark at me. <br /><br />(..and truthfully and honestly?? Very lovely imagery, and clever use of the acrostic format!)<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.com
