spinning and falling
leaves pirouette through the air
beauty in motion
lovers parting in a dance
come together in the end

One of these days I’m going to figure out how to get photos off my cell phone…
I took a close up that filled the screen with yellow/orange Ginkgo leaves…
The shape of different leaves together is nice, but seeing just one kind together is a different artistic view.
sort of like this (by) Free photo Gingko Tree Yellow Leaves Fallen Leaves – Max Pixel
maxpixel.net Oh… it isn’t letting me put the photo in the comments…
But the leaves came together again, though all on the ground.

One solution for your cell phone pics is to email them to yourself.
I’m adding Max Pixel to my photo search bookmarks.

I’m not a tech person. But I think my cell came with a wire and connection that I can download my photos. I’m still working at trying to make new photo folders to sort stuff. 🙂

What a wonderful tanka Ken … a symbiosis between autumn and love as tanka was to be … a love poem.
