Everything/Anything and…Chess…"Despite the documented evidence by chess historian HJR Murray, I've always thought that chess was invented by a goddess"–George Koltanowski: from the foreword to:"Women in chess, players of the Modern Age"

Autumn days are here again!

Yesterday I was on my bike in the park close to where we live. While riding around the park, I couldn’t help being touched by all the different colours of Autumn! My best season is Autumn, because of all the changes. So many changes are taking place and I was cross with myself for not having my camera with me, but here’s some photos I took last week.

Enjoy this poem about Autumn

Autumn days are here again!
In autumn when the trees are brown
The little leaves come tumbling down
They do not make the slightest sound
But lie so quietly on the ground
Until the wind comes puffing by
And blows them off towards the sky.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you
like the leaves of Autumn.
by John Muir

    Hello Nikita,

    herfs, en winter, my twee gunsteling seisoene! Pragtige fotos. Die blare hier by ons is werklik iets besonders. En as dit reën, ek gaan stap altyd in die reën, ek lief dit. (nou nie kaalvoet nie) 🙂 Dit was my gesig skoon.
