September 23, 2007 saw the beginning of Fall - a season of change. With London being known as the Forest City, it is with great pleasure that I have been watching the many changes occurring in my local environment. Visiting Covent Gardens one weekend, I could not pass up the opportunity to capture the beautiful flower arrangements on display, and marvel at the florists' ability to use the Fall season as their inspiration. Take note of the attention to detail, for example, the minature apple, brilliant sunflowers and pumpkin.
'Fall, leaves, fall'
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.
Emily Jane Bronte
