Sunflowers in Autumn

Sunflowers in Autumn

echos of summer
these glorious sunflowers
facing down autumn

An Autumn Walk

Autumn Sunlight

a crisp autumn walk
under the joyful blue sky
leaves slowly falling

Through the Autumn Leaves

Autumn leaves

under autumn leaves
sunlight drifting through the mists
crows singing their joys

Asking the waterfront

Along the waterfront

ah, lovely sunlight!
this day on the waterfront
this break in the rain

The Reddening Leaves

Autumn Leaves

the reddening leaves
autumn's transformation starts 
amidst the rainfall

Autumnal Leaves

Autumnal Leaves

glorious red leaves
autumn breezes gently brush
this life giving rain

Autumn has arrived


Autumn has fully arrived in Seattle. Rain and mist dominate the day. For me, this is calming. This is beautiful.

early autumn rain
birds delight in fresh berries
slowly I sip tea

nature's graceful force
always pushing us forwards
through autumnal rains

Ah, a lovely, rainy near-autumn morning here in Seattle. Autumn is my favorite season, so this fills me with happiness. And I expect my brown lawn is rejoicing with the rain.

I created this with Canva. The image is not mine, but a complementary one in Canva. Motion in text is something I am exploring deeper. Yeah, this isn’t that terribly challenging, but I’m all for small steps.

dawn upon the clouds
hints of red within the leaves
gentle morning mists

Summer’s Walk

Vibrant sky

this vibrant blue sky
delightful Summertime warmth
autumn approaching

This is a tree I’ve walked by myriad times. Today, with a cloudless sky, I stood out on my walk. Though it’s still summer weather, the crispness of autumn makes its presence known. Soon…very soon, summer will retire. As much as I love summer autumn holds a dear place one my heart.
