Farewell Autumn

Our winters are quite mild,  nevertheless, autumn's resplendent beauty
eventually becomes cloaked in icy blue frost.

To preserve the memories of weeks past, I am joining
Photo Art Friday
at Pixel Dust.


Original photo


Converted to Black and White

Using i Splash app, slowly I added back original color

Texture from Pixel Dush: PDPA, additional lettering.

that I am no longer young
and the world
that keeps time
in its own way
has just been born?
I don't have the answers...."
