Autumn spreading on the water

The moment a leaf touches the water, ripples spread slowly. No one hears the sound, but the surface remembers the whole circle.

Autumn spreads across the water's surface, and as I follow its ripples, the sun has already begun to set. Autumn truly arrives so quietly.

Shimmer

As the sun set where the ripples spread, the water turned red. A moment when the surface holds both day and evening.

Breeze

Standing under the tree, waiting for a falling leaf, but there was no wind, so the leaf lingered in the air for a long time before touching my shoulder.

Sunpatch

Before touching the water, the leaf catches the light once more in the air, then falls. It's been a while since I sat by the window and watched this.

When the autumn leaves reflected on the lake sway in the wind, I only saw the shadow of a water bird passing over them.

Alight

Standing at the bus stop in the evening, a ginkgo leaf blown by the wind touched my shoulder first. On the fallen leaf's surface, the sunlight was still there.
