Another view of "Autumn Fire" 8" x 10" watercolor with Gold Leaf by Carrie Waller
What is better in the Fall than a bonfire.  I found this poem by Robert Louis Stevenson and it fit so appropriately with this firey leaf.

In the other gardens
  And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
  See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over
  And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
  The gray smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons!
  Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
  Fires in the fall!
