Take a break with me. Enjoy one of my favorite places.
There is the pond, just beyond all these wild flowers.

yellow stars.

hmmmnnn...I wonder just what that is? Some one gave this tree an early Halloween mask.

wild flowers are everywhere.

The bees are busy busy busy.

reflections like watercolor washes.

Butterflies!

Algae colors that inspire.

Purple!

a purple loving butterfly flits from blossom to blossom.

These exposed roots look like fairy hair to me.

royal beauty of Queen Ann's lace.

texture of pods and thistles stark in black and white.

I love the layers in this shaggy bark.

I sit and stitch with a cool breeze that makes the leaves whisper.Do you see a face in this tree?

Seasons ending

The mornings have turned cool enough to wear a sweatshirt.
The summer birds are gathering for the trip south.
This year around Cardinal sang a beautiful song while sitting in a heart of green leaves.

above her the tree was beginning to blush.
Fall is coming early this year.
