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.

white grasses...up close and personal.

i am so blessed to live in a beautiful part of the american countryside. tennessee.

the lands surrounding us are just like living inside a painting....exquisite.

grass among the mint.

i am very technically challenged so i accidentally changed my formatting on blogger thinking i was updating to the latest advances on blogger...but with my sister's help, meems@ hoe and shovel...i was able to go back and change it...whew! i did not like the newer version.

i also entered the ggw (gardening gone wild) photo contest for september . since doing this, i have gone and looked at all the entries....glad i didn't before i posted. otherwise i probably wouldn't have entered. but having said this i am now thinking of all the beautiful grass photos shot over the summer....i can't really take the credit...after all God did the creating i just happened by and photographed them.

sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy.

sunshine almost always gets me high.

grasses in the distant.

happiness is: all in the grasses.

hidden grass..... crouching dog.

three grasses and a weed...
instead of three men and a baby. way better stuff.

kentucky blue grass with ironweed.

this last photo is my entry into the ggw photo contest.

i wish everyone who entered the best.

happy september days.
