Each a marvel of renewal, clouds of seed pillows rest on the bushes.
Like soft filaments of down, they ride on air currents to their destiny.
Dry, gravelly ground yields vivid cornflowers, a contrast of simplicity and symmetry.
Berries like eyeballs stare placidly into the future - all-knowing, all-seeing.
In the the pale light of late summer, all dusty trails lead home.
as always, barb, you meld beauty of photography and poetry so perfectly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful,
ReplyDeleteIt is probably getting a little cool at night up where you are.
Wonderful scenes Barb. The seeds and eyeball berries look amazing. So many lovely things to see.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love Fall!
ReplyDeleteHi,Barb!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see those lots of seed pillows resting, waiting for the moment to travel!
I enlarged your fourth photo to further enjoy it, feeling as if I am watching one scene from a movie with the magnificent view and the horse riders.
Have a good week!

Your countryside, so breathtaking. So beautiful Barb. Have a great Sunday. Carol
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful end of summer meditation. Always love the onset of golden autumn in your beloved Rockies...and then, the glory of winter. Thanks so much for taking us with you today.
ReplyDeleteI love your lyrical descriptions Barb. Everything looks so beautiful. I must admit though, I'm looking forward to seeing your "snowy" posts! I think it's because of all of the heat we've had this year, not to mention how beautiful it is there in wintertime!
ReplyDeleteLove Di ♥
Beautiful, I suppose it is going to become colder soon.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
