Autumn

These things are early autumn.
The harvest moon in a clear sky.
Orion the hunter and his dog on the eastern horizon.
Red rose hips .
Black berries in bird filled bushes.
Swallows on lines in the sky.
Blue sky and sunshine warmer than summer.
Spider webs heavy with dew beads.
Seal song and pups on the stone beach.
The scent of winter.
Hay bales and stubble fields, gold in the evening sun.
Bright pheasants.
Arrows of geese high in the blue.
And the bracken dresses itself in ginger.











And even though She walked to the seal beach she forgot the lense that makes the seals look closer. But we did see Glyn today and her looked so well in the warm sunshine that was warmer than any of the days of summer.
Soon it will be his birthday.

    You make a simple list read like poetry. I like the photo of a cat sitting firmly on his/her ginger bottom with tail outstretched.
    Nice to have word of Mr. Griffiths.

    Say hello to Glyn from me whose son is also called Glyn. Such a rarity over here!
    I woke up yesterday morning, looked out of the window and said, "Yes, fall is on the way>" People say we have no seasons here in southern California, but after 36 years here, I can tell you there is a different hue to the still blue sky, the birds are flocking and if you hunt among the many large greenery trees you will find some trees that at first you think are dying and then you remember it's fall, and leaves are supposed to die.
