The WordPress trick for Halloween appears to be the lack of a weekly photo challenge theme at the normal time and since we plan to leave soon for our weekend trip to Philadelphia for our younger daughter’s birthday, I’m running out of time as well as patience. Instead, here’s a haiku inspired by the leaves that still cling to their branches, despite the battering, tearing winds. They may serve as an inspiration for those days when we are similarly buffeted, although not by physical wind.

Great photo and haiku, Janet. Thanks, I came to the Reader to see if I just hadn’t gotten my email for the WPC.
I thought they’d gotten over that. I don’t have time to hang around today to wait for them, hence the haiku. Glad you enjoyed them and enjoy your weekend, too.
I wonder if it’s because the clocks in the UK have changed so its still 20 minutes left until we get it according to my calcumalations 🙂
I was passed 20 minutes late here. It’s out at noon EST in the US, but not today. Ahhh well, if that’s the worst thing that happens to me this week, I’m in great shape!

15 mins and it will be in your inbox im sure 🙂
Lets play guess the theme in the meantime. I go for frightnening
It will have to be something about Halloween or something tied into that. But if they can not post it for so long, anything can happen! (Although I doubt it will.)
I’ve always imagined the links from the States, so I was expecting it at 4.00pm.
I’m not going back to look anymore because we’ll be on the road soon. Have a great weekend, Sandra, and say hi to Neville.

Will do. Stay safe. France for us next week. 🙂
Great work, Janet. Who needs a photo challenge when we have this much talent in our midst?
Great photo and haiku. The prompt is descent – well leaves will eventually descend to the ground. 😀
Beautiful picture! happy halloween! 🙂
Thanks, We were driving all evening so we missed the whole hoorah. I don’t really mind. The weather in three states was horrible!
