April or September
There’s a chill in the air
Colors catch my eye
Slipping free of winter
Chase the roses
From summer’s embers
Green carpets laid
Accent red furnishings
Into wooded streams
For Cee's Midweek Madness Challenge: September Autumn or Spring
She’s close.
She’s closer.
She’s gone!
Or:
Exit hare pursued by iPhone camera.
For Debbie's Six Word Saturday Challenge
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Patterns in Nature. One of the things that strikes a naturalist is the singularity and uniqueness of things in nature, even where patterns exist, like a snowflake, for example. But that paradox gives us more cause to wonder at creation, and the hand behind it.
Cee Neuner has been educating me on dahlias, literally from the ground up, and if you haven’t already see her exquisite photography of dahlias, you’re in for a treat on her site. Apparently, dahlias grown from tubers differ from those grown from seeds, which are the type I posted yesterday. Here’s one more from the same crop, and take a look at Cee’s FOTD for today, glowing with hidden depths.
Joseph at Lillie-Put has added a twist to 2021’s Home Photo Challenge: “a brief description of each photo … and a Haiku to go along with it.” Sounds good! Join in.
Cheerful mug outlives
Two Christmases, keeps good will
In this “MRS.” heart.
Cee’s FOTD Challenge
9-14-2020: Please send prayers and good wishes to Cee, Chris, the girls, and their sweet cat, with hopes that their home will be spared the current wildfires.
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8
Cee’s FOTD Challenge
As if she needed a late afternoon shower to freshen her up, this tiny marigold emerges with golden pistils blazing, her scarlet gown lined with gold.
So too does hope emerge out of the dark clouds of the day.
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation
Psalm 42:5
This Jolly Beggar
