"Autumn Leaves Blowing, No. 1," fractal art by the author, Deeann D. Mathews
Autumn is here, but some of summer's warmth is still around ... still warm jazz like the fleeting green ever more vanishing but still present in the trees, with hints of pleasant cool days to come ... the beaches are still warm, but get there soon unless you have time to go to Brazil ... the crowds of tourists are thinning around us ... and the autumn winds are blowing ... but all this is good!
It is spring at last in the land of Jobim ... time to play again in the warming waves even as they are still warm here!
After the crowds and fun of the summer ... of loves and loves lost that cannot withstand the cooler workaday realities of the season to some ... sometimes solitude is what we need, even if we don't always want it .. but Duke Ellington makes it easy to endure!
From the heat of summer just on our way toward the cold of winter ... the autumn winds are blowing and we are on John Coltrane's cool blue train to enjoy it all ... autumn is here and it never sounded so wonderful!
