A long, hot summer gives way to a short, cool autumn. Now autumn wraps up this year’s show and our temperatures become unseasonably cold. But through it all – fires, smoke, heat, drought, brief rain – nature endures and shares its beauty. Given freely, consistently, and to all who choose to observe.
A few offerings from a fragile season.
I hope this season has been good to you, and you to it. Take care of your patch of Earth – no matter how large or small. We are its caretakers, after all.

Wow. Such gorgeous colors! Everything just looks green here. Well, green or brown. We need some more rain! Either way, we won’t be getting those deep reds.

We have many maples (Acer spp.) and ashes (Fraxinus spp.) out here that give us some spectacular color.
