We are blessed to live in such beauty.

Fall Autumn

is about

transition.

Greens turn brown, yellow, red, orange

and leaves change color and fall

and plants blacken in the frosts.

It is exciting and sad.

My heart has never been totally excited with summer GREEN, and growth.

That is me. Each of us has a place of comfort.

 

Fall is different, many colors and changes that make you stop and say WOW.

This is more me.  I love when the woods open up and I can see deep into them.

For me, Summer is too hot and too humid.

Fall is not.

BUT

Fall also means that WHITE is not far behind 

and that means shorter colder days.

No season is perfect or imperfect

and the long and the short of it is

God gives us what we need

each and every day

and 

bitching about the cold or the hot is not going to make it warmer or cooler.

Accept what you can not change and ENJOY the day that is today.

Fighting the river does not work.

 

I love my own pictures ~

How egotistic is that?

These caught my eye for one reason or another.

It is all about catching that moment.

That is what makes me happy.

For each here, dozens got deleted.

Nothing earth shattering, but it doesn't need to be.

blue skies

 

Each year I take this shot of the mountain and the queen anne's lace and the blue skies.

 

? no more. It is gray dogwood.

sunflowers make me smile

these lovely sunflowers are part of this week's farm share.

sun, prism, magic

with nature a sense of real

I find the world of late almost terrifying.  

People mouthing insanity. 

Civilization fraying.

 the web of life being pulled apart.

I have felt this for years.

It has accelerated drastically of late.

It is only in being with nature that I escape the madness 

and

find a real feeling of peace.
