contrast of seasons

this time of year reminds me of new beginnings but in the reverse order.

things are getting ready to rest...dying off.

it is spectacular...september bliss.

this is the time when things are changing.

the leaves seemingly transform hues effortlessly.

berries are emerging....readying themselves to be eaten.

goldenrod is always a sure sign of autumn...the bugs are enjoying the cover it gives.

the corn stalks need to be cut.

wild grasses verses cut grass....the war of the grasses.
especially with all the rain.

flowers are dying out but left for the birds to eat the seeds.

dead sunflowers stand against a beautiful sunset like soldiers.

the zinnias are somewhat fading. still there are new blooms.

comos showed up late...

....but we love them just the same.

grasses stay up longer because it is just too wet to cut for hay. soon/maybe.
these days are cooler, less humid...

happy autumn.
