Evening walk - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I love autumn, especially autumn in North Carolina. It gets colder bit by bit, and we have weeks to enjoy the turning leaves and the mysterious spirit of decay that seems to inhabit the woods.

I live right by the Duke Forest, and often walk my puppy in the nearby subdivision along with Boyfriend.

A few nights ago, we saw this (aplogies for the poor photo quality, a phone camera is all I have at the moment):

It was so... appropriate to the season and to the way that Tolkien's work affects me as a whole. There is the beautiful sadness in the air over everything, and the colder evenings make me want to climb in bed with LotR (yes, I like it in that way

) all over again.

Just thought I'd share, my darlings.
