Unicorn Ride


Remember when the world was magical? When a walk in the park was a mysterious fairyland of play? A tree became a fortress, the flower beds a magic carpet? A broom became a trusty steed? A gate became an entrance to a courtyard of possibilities?


If only we could capture that whimsical innocence again. Free ourselves from the day to day and let our imaginations soar again, dream again, live again, if only for a moment....

Come join me while we travel to a land far, far away.... or is it?...
A trip to a Wonderland called Imagination....


Unicorn Ride




Such magic lies within the park


A mystical beast I've found


Imagination as the spark


Let's take a ride around







Prance among the flowers


Looking up to see the sky


No cares about the hours


As trees and shrubs go by







Capture every scene there is


With Joys that fill the soul


Forget the reigns trust in his


Sit back, take in the stroll







Beauty's all around I see


As magic fills the air


Over there I see a tree


Clothed in such festive flair







Standing out amongst the crowd


Vivid colors shining bright


Not so tall but oh so proud


It shimmers in the Light







Our trusty steed, a unicorn


mystifies the day


High stepping over newly born


Grass and flowers come what may







Soak up the sun and take this ride


Dance with natures glory


Feel the energy deep inside


For now you're part of life's story

Autumn Leaves






Sorry to people who read this earlier. I hadn't proof read very well. I was just going to post the photo's and then words came to me so  fast.... but it takes longer to post than you think and I ended up posting a little too fast. .. I went in and re wrote a few things. This is a little better. (No more trying to get a post off quick before work... )
All the images are from this past weekend either at the family homestead in Little Valley or the Fall festival in Ellicottville, NY. The leaves were just about peak and BEAUTIFUL!

 



Autumn  Leaves

Autumn leaves are shining bright

shimmering in the breeze


The colors bold and worn with pride

A coat for all to see


The twilight of their life it seems

yet the best of times


Showing off their wisdom

with colors of every kind


A celebration of where they've come

and what their life has been


Droughts, and winds and heavy storms

 they've made it through them all


So shine with pride and  wear your colors

You've earned them every one


Let's walk a while and reminisce

and celebrate  Autumn's Splendor
