early today
later,
grapes burdening a birch
two moons
slamming into the
strangeness of
daylight savings gone
big wind doing it's job
stars in the grass
prickly like me
of the many,
only a few are touched with scarlet
emptiness
emptying
paper on the wind
my precious north woods
it is, certainly, a rude and abrupt change. but you document it all with such grace and generosity.
ReplyDeletehow lovely, aimee, thank you
ReplyDeleteGreat seedpods... I was bowled over tonight by the incredible orange/pink sky on my drive home. I was ooo-ing and ahhh-ing all the way and storing the colors away in the image-file-memory-box and hope they will come out in paintings soon. The top photo has some lovely mauves in the sky.... November skies are something!
ReplyDeletegorgeous shots (so different from my landscape - so mysterious - so prickly!)
ReplyDeleteval, they will, and they will be amazing
ReplyDeleteronnie, i can't wait to meet your so-far-away landscape
beautiful shots,you have captured the essence of change. my favorite colour time of year.
ReplyDeletethank you jean. lovely to hear that.
ReplyDeleteV- so many reminders of winter coming. The photos of the seed pods are beautiful. B
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, there may not be as much colour in winter, but the pale, muted, fading winter light is so ethreal and pretty, you captured it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThat's it; that's the turning. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethanks, barry, aren't these pods great?
ReplyDeleteh.t. winter color makes me so happy
lynn, thanks. it is turning, after this indian summer, look out!
that last photo, the reflections with a layer of leaves - i could pause there and reflect for hours.
ReplyDeleteand daylight saving for you? haven't you just gone back to normal time? we've just gone into DS for Summer.
kaite, you're so right. i always get the name for things like this mixed up. i remember a character in a dorothy sayers novel calling it god's time. i've made the correction.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos. Stopped me in my tracks. You are an acute observer.
ReplyDeleteVery precious North Woods it is. Lovely, lovely nature.
ReplyDeleteconstantly gobsmacked, alice, that's me. my kids will tell you so!
ReplyDeleteramona, it's so amazing here.
The seed pods were my favorites, interesting balance between bright and muted during this remarkable season. Atlanta is afire with hot colors right now.
