Turning Over A New Leaf

......a little photo editing in sepia
(the original)

When you decide to do something different to change your life for the better you are turning over a new leaf. A new season has begun and what a better time to turn the page, start a new beginning and make your life a little better. Lose those last five pounds, read a good book, take a class, smile at a stranger, hug a loved one - turn over a new leaf and see what happens!
Even the green leaves of summer are turning over a new leaf so to speak. Yesterday was the first official day of autumn and the leaves of my Burning Bush are showing their vibrant fall color.

Today's Flowers: Burning Bush

This week I searched my archives to find something that I hadn't posted and found this image of a Burning Bush from my Mom's yard that I took last October. At that time it was just beginning to change colors to its vibrant scarlet foliage. It was already full of the small red-orange fruit it bears in the fall. I hope you enjoy.

Waste no tears

Upon the blotted record of lost years,

But turn the leaf, and smile, oh! smile, to see

The fair white pages that remain for thee.”

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(American poet and writer 1850-1919)
