Showing Off
Caught Showing off... a first tree turning in the Ohio autumn, Shot near Wooster Ohio Oct 2004 In the western sky, behind the storm
Lightning illuminates the swirling clouds
Flashing brilliant colors of white and gold
In the shadow box of the Southern Plains.
Cool northern air strikes hot southern skies
Pouring rain, hail and chilling winds
Drenching the earth with cooling
Changing the climate of the mountains
Within a day, a striking change
Foliage turning gold in the chill air
Autumn enters with sudden aplom
When all Nature's caught Showing Off
