Stuck

Feeling a little stuck. I am.

Falling into winter

The sun is shining down of fallen leaves and I couldn't help myself. I had forgotten I had some of these at the beginning of the summer. 

Season finale

Stunning season of color. It is the time of year that my hydrangeas almost bring me to tears with their beauty. But what did I hear? We are going to have more rain than last year - is that possible?

 

 

 

Transformation

When I think about what season I love the most. My answer is ... the one I am in at the moment. This is why I love fall. More Beautiful Afterlife.

Bittersweet

I am enjoying listening to Ken Burns' Prohibition on PBS. Haven't really stopped working to sit in my big chair and watch. Hoping my DVR will help me with that later. ;) 

Haven't had time to work on Brantlers ... except to clean up the website. Rick (at BYOB Website) is making it an e-commerce site this week. Had some business cards and tags printed. Not many because I know I always want to change it up. Ran over to Chocolati on Greenwood to see how many sculptures and where/how I can hang them during my little display. I really am excited to see them hanging someplace besides my garage.


Have too much "real work" to do right now with Rick and BYOB Website that I work on at night. And my freelance work during the day. Brantlers on the weekend. Whew, I am feeling a little overwhelmed. 


Saw these today at Rick and Laura's, Bittersweet Nightshade, pretty but dangerous. Don't these berries look "so fall". I love the color combination and the little 5-star connection on top is so sweet.

 

Inspired by a phone call to Laurie, (a good Flickr friend), I shoot some remaining flowers today. 

 

 

 

Finding trees

Nature finding its' way to safely to winter. This sedum reminds me a little of the Boabob Tree. And speaking of beautiful tree things, check out this Tree Branch by Danya Pugliese, to die for!

Slipping into fall

It is that time again that the colors in my yard make my brain swirl out of control. Also going on here ... lots of cutting grapes out of the neighbors yard ;0. Moving peonies. Making new beds and amending them.

Nature's Palette

Isn't fall the best? Treat for the eyes? The greatest color combinations? I flipped a leaf photo and mosaic the image.

The Wind Lifted Me

I woke up last night hearing Gregorian chants. I smiled, with my eyes closed listened harder. I thought someone must be playing them in the house somewhere ... but it was very late and the house was dark and silent. I listened again and realized it was the wind whistling through the door making this beautitful noise. I slipped back into my dreams. The wind lifted me while I slept. I feel like I am missing fall this year ... it is going to fast. I need to take a walk today and drink some of the colors in before high winds sweep them away.

The Sum Of A Summer

When summer gathers up her robes of glory,
And, like a dream, glides away.

I made a couple of 1280x1024 wallpapers for the end of summer. Here and here and here
