"The time of the falling leaves has come again. Once more on our morning walk, we tread upon carpets of gold and crimson, of brown and bronze, woven by the winds and the rains...How full of light and color are their last days in October...the whole body of air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light that they have been absorbing all summer." - John Burroughs, "The Falling Leaves"

"Sittin' in the mornin' sun

I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes

Watchin' the ships roll in

Then I watch 'em roll away again

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Watchin' the tide, roll away

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time..."

~ Otis Redding, Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
