Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears..."

31 days...

november is coming...

the time of year where work takes over every minute. 

awake or asleep, there is no escape. 

so for the next 31 days, i plan to absorb, appreciate and

embrace AUTUMN...

 

I am going to enjoy the flowers while they are still here.

and i am going to watch nature in all its glory as the world turns to

orange and yellow and reds...

it's gonna be a blast :)

 

 

i am going to play with the pictures

in photoshop and snapseed and picmonkey and whatever else i can find...

and then, at the end of the month,

i am going to be all filled up with color :)

 

and that should help when it comes time

to face november...

 

 

 

bring it on,

october,

i am ready for you

 

 

september colors...

a month of transitions...

 

 

 

 

 

summer's end...

where did the summer go?

 

i am sad,

as always,

to see it end. 

 

but i am going after fall

with a sense of urgency

to enjoy and appreciate every minute of it.

 

you might want to stay out of the way of all that :)

orange day

today, the word to photograph was orange...

my first thought was that orange is not an easy word to find in spring,

much easier to find in summer or fall. 

but it was sunday,

i was off of work and looking for orange was a better option

than cleaning the house. so i went for a ride :)

within minutes of hitting the road, i saw a robin with an orange breast...

it flew away too soon but spooked a hawk which flew right up in front of me -

how's that for orange day??

but i really was looking for flowers today

and orange flowers in spring are not that common.

after wandering along the river,

i ended up in a small neighborhood where the residents apparently love to garden :) 

i found a single tulip and lucky for me, it was a deep rich orange...

and across the street, i found those daffodils that have the orange faces :)

these little beauties brought a smile to my face and life to a gray day...
