HOW REFRESHING it was to look up and see rust coloured autumn leaves fluttering over the roof recently.
Although it's easy to feel low when mired in politics, a cotton candy pink sky put current events into broader perspective while a leaf, stuck on a branch, appeared ready to fly in the morning light.
Meanwhile, plants gone to seed burst like stars onto the scene overnight.
It's not quite what Michelle Obama had in mind when she said,
"When they go low, we go high." But it was uplifting to look beyond the noisy chatter into what nature does continuously without fanfare every single day.

Beautiful shots! And so true - in nature, there is solace.
ReplyDeleteThe rust colored leaves and the pastel rosy sky seen through the bare branches are so beautiful. I’d like to keep mind and eyes like yours which didn’t miss the overnight change on the seeds, no matter what nasty things happening around us.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos. Our leaves are all gone although we haven't had any cold or snow yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and love your poetic writing of how the leaf is ready to fly and how the seed has burst into stars.
ReplyDeleteperfect Fall weather. and beautiful shots as well..love them all.
ReplyDeleteFantastic autumn shots and the Michelle Obama quote is one of the best things to come out of this election.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the changing colors and your seed photo is pretty too.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is shattered too Maria (the picture on your other blog said it well). This morning Bill and I drove to a nearby pond area to walk and look at birds and take pictures. That made me feel that we will perhaps survive all of this hate.
ReplyDeleteI could not comment on your other blog. Wanted to say we also was chocked by the choosing of Trump :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots and a good take on it all. I'm trying to enjoy nature to help get rid of the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.
