One of the parts of autumn here I would like to embroider is the sight for sun streaming through bright yellow leaves against a bright blue sky. Another is the days when farmers are burning off their fields--a very sheer taupe mist over grey might catch that. Another are the big vees of Canada geese flying over, a sky full of geometry.

The geese around here are beginning their winter migration, huge flocks of them (especially Canada geese) taking to the air and circling before heading off for their winter habitat; what a noise they make!
