Carnimírië

In every autumn a different red—

red-jewelled boughs against clear skies.

Chapter End Notes

The title is based on the name of one of the lost rowans that Quickbeam laments for in The Two Towers. The name carnimírië means "red-jewelled" (Quenya). 

The first line of the text in the image notes also alludes to one of Bilbo's songs (in every wood in every spring / there is a different green).

I'm so glad you posted this here so we get to enjoy it! I love this image, the bright red on grey contrasting against the clear blue sky. What a fitting epitaph for the Rowan. Lovely, thank you!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like it.

But I have to confess it isn't a rowan. At least, I don't think it is, although I'm not sure what tree it is.

I took the liberty of re-purposing the "red-jewelled" name a bit, as I thought it suited this tree, too!
