I often walk through the woods behind my house to restore my connection to Nature and to see what beautiful secrets may be hidden there to inspire the artist's soul. One chilly evening in fall, when the trees had begun to lose their leaves, I looked up and could see the graceful crescent moon framed by the trees. It almost looked as if they were streching up to touch it. It inspired this Haiku, which I wrote on the back of the painting:

A crisp autumn night

Smell of leaves is in the air

I gaze up at the moon.
