Glorious Autumn

Colin and I were marveling at what a beautiful autumn we are enjoying.   It almost makes you forget the dismal dripping spring that we had.  Now is the springtime of our discontent made glorious autumn.

Some Autumnnal Offerings - including a new poem:

Finally able to upload to my blog again.

Sunflowers - such happy flowers. These are growing in a back yard on the way to work.  I bike past them daily, yet didn't stop to love them - or even really notice them until on a Saturday ride, last weekend.  Slow down and love the gifts of creation!

  A gift of grapes from Rokebyland vineyards

a glad passing - in a riot of colour

a poem:

Passing

This is the September morning
When Summer chooses to sleep late

And Autumn rises early,
Peeking through trees
Making air visible
With misty gifts of sunlight.
