가을인 첫날(Autumn Equinox) 날에 하얀 구름이 파란 하늘에 걸쳐 있고
9월 날씨 답지 않게 기온이 24도까지 올라가서
모든 일을 제쳐놓고, 가볍게 차려입고 집 뒤에 있는
자연보호구역 숲으로 신나게 달려 나갔다.
평소와 달리 늘 지참하고 다니던 소니 카메라 대신에
가볍게 셀폰만 들고나가서 처음으로 셀폰에
눈부시게 아름다운 가을의 첫 날을 담아 보았다.
그럼 저와 함께 가을 첫날의 숲길로 가 보실까요?
집 바로 뒤의 호수를 거쳐서...

are full of trees and changing leaves..."

작년보다 폭우에 갈라진 곳이 더 깊고 넓게 패어서인지,
늘 놓였던 두 개의 나무 널빤지들 대신에
두 개의 사다리와 밧줄이 있어서
조심스럽게 이곳을 통과했다.
"Autumn is a second spring
when every leaf is a flower."
Albert Camus

who looked at the sky and lived.
And when it was time to leave,
gracefully it knew life was a gift.”

How full of light and color are their last days.”

The time when everything bursts with its last beauty,
as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”

which through the summer is not heard or seen,
as if it could not be, as if it had not been.”

They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar."

It’s the first day of autumn!
A time of hot chocolatey mornings,
and toasty marshmallow evenings,
and, best of all, leaping into leaves!

Autumn burned brightly,
a running flame through the mountains,
a torch flung to the trees.

I am struck by the simplicity of light in the atmosphere in the autumn,
as if the earth absorbed none,
and out of this profusion of dazzling light came the autumnal tints.

In every change, in every falling leaf
there is some pain, some beauty.
And that’s the way new leaves grow.

its mute Appeal to sympathy for its decay.

thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be.
She loves the bare, the withered tree,
She walks the sodden pasture lane.

"A wind has blown the rain away
and blown the sky away
and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand.

As long as autumn lasts,
I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough
to paint the beautiful things I see.

코비드 19 사태로 우리의 평범한 일상은 사라졌지만,
고맙게도 아름다운 자연은 여전히 우리 곁에서 함께 굳건히 자리를 지키면서
우리가 그 어느때보단 필요한 위안과 평안을 안겨다 준다.
