CONTEST WINNER
Can you
imagine a
two-thousand, five-hundred-
twenty-eight pound pumpkin? How would
it taste?

A LEAF AND A SPIDER WEB

Oak leaf

caught in a web

dances without a net

or puppet strings. It's a brown bird

flying.

After

a gust of wind

both the leaf and the web

that held it flew off, never to

return.

~ ~ ~ ~

Hearing,

then seeing, a

flock of geese flying west

on this early, first cold snap of

autumn.
