Guard

An empty, solitary lifeguard station loses the battle against the waves. Soon it will be put into storage and the waves will wash unimpeded over the beach until next spring.

Sandwiched

Between the monochrome of the harvested soybean field and the varied blue-greys of the clouds, beautifully bright fall colour.

Wild turkeys

We drove down a country road the other day, rounded a curve, and came across a flock of turkeys. I coasted to a stop, got the camera, and began snapping.

Still. Life.

While the leaves may be still, the turfgrass and creeping Charlie are full of life.

A riot

Breathtaking colour and form awaited me this crisp, glorious morning. I am so thankful to see such beauty, and to be able to share it with you.

Harbinger

I almost overlooked this maple leaf. It was lodged in sand at the edge of the stepping stones, a place I walk several times daily. I’m normally looking up, around, yet I looked down and saw this.

A harbinger that Fall is coming. That’s fine, even good. Life, the seasons, are a circle, a wheel, around which we travel. I look forward to whatever delights and mysteries this fall brings.
