Something you may love

Every time looking at a lot of leaves falling on the sidewalk like a golden blanket someone forgot on the ground I think it's autumn. And I met autumn today, in the beginning of the summer. And it felt so great when I opened a book and the poem below was the first thing I saw:

Untitled

The trees out there begin shedding
their leaves
shall I shed mine, too?

mine are those discarded love affairs
i still persist in clothing myself with
i’m reluctant to cast them off
lest it’d leave my soul naked and raw

the trees out there are shedding
their leaves
shall i shed mine now?
(@Dương Tường)

You just can't turn your head away Từ Thức met fairies/ Từ Thức gặp tiên

yes!
some new clothes for new days ahead. past sorrow's cause is gone and sorrow will fade I hope.

so, a new day for the heart-broken soul!

lovely, Mit

It's the same here

And soon, red and purple will cover these streets when cicadas raise their voices

I added a picture I took today - a corner of autumn on a summer day

Chị ghen tị rồi đấy, ở đây hoa điệp chưa nở. Hôm qua mới thấy cây bằng lăng đầu tiên nở hoa

welcome mit

i associate leaves on the floor with autumn too, and the picture does look to me like an autumn scene, the americans do call autumn "fall" and i think the reason is falling leaves and falling temperatures

does this happen there every year mit? falling leaves in summer?
maybe some trees there change their leaves often not just in autumn?
i do like walking on paths covered in blossom fallen from trees, with a nice breeze making the blossom swirl around, it looks like confetti at a wedding my friend

i hope you can take some picures of the red and purple streets

sound very beautiful mit,
