You used to be a mountain

I used to be a star

we both drink from the fountain

of more than what we are

A yellow dog with hazel eyes, with a gold ribbon and a purple collar on her neck stands looking at an angle past the camera in a grassy area covered in gingko leaves. The poem reads: I might have let her Off her leash that day But in the gingko grove Mellowed by the yellow trove I heard Robert frost say Nothing gold can stay

Looking up at two giant gingko trees, their light green leaves turning yellow against a robins egg blue sky in early autumn Deeper gold color as leaves start to carpet the forest floor in November in a seemingly endless grove of meticulously planted symmetrical rows of mature gingko. Spots of sunlight reach the ground through the canopy. A few people in the distance walking
