Red and Gold and Brown<\/p><\/div>\n

With apologies to the late Mark Heard, I’ve given this post the title of one of my favorite songs, Appalachian Melody<\/em>. It’s so sad when anyone dies young but we particularly miss those with exceptional talent. Mark was only 40 years old when he died in 1992 of a heart attack. I hum and sing this song to myself often, particularly at this time of year, of course. “How peculiar liking old dead leaves against the sky.” I do, because there is something more than meats the eye.<\/p>\n

Actually, I think this photograph would make a really good jigsaw puzzle.<\/p>\n
