An afternoon walk--watercolor

"Afternoon" walk,  4" by 5" watercolor
Autumn afternoons  are cool and bright these days, clouds floating overhead, a path before us as we take in the passing of another year. Alone in our thoughts perhaps, but you can't help but be aware of a larger creation where all life is both sacred and simultaneous. What you see, smell and hear reveals a universe linked as one organism, but as fleeting as the seasons and afternoon shadows.
As the years go by, I'm more than aware of the multiple metaphors of a solitary afternoon autumn walk.
