Russet ramblings

 
There is something satisfying about saying the word russet outloud. 

A rolling of the “rrr ; feel the vibration in your chest. 

Accentuating the “ss” sound followed by a long sexy “eht”.

For me this word encompasses the rich bounty of Autumn’s harvest. 

Last roses

 

The autumn chill creeps 

Slowly into shadows 

And evenings come earlier.

Bright daytime stars

Remind me of what was

And is to come.

Sydney Tower, aka Centrepoint, shimmers gold as the rising sun illuminates the city. As the Autumn sun sets the Tower appears to be etched into the sky. Taken from Catalina Restaurant, Rose Bay, Sydney, Australia.
