A close up on autumn

Autumn: a time of full maturity a beginning of seeds and planting, of hatching out to lay an egg. The glory of the flower in the summer sun is only there to produce a seed to be dropped in autumn. . It is a season of rejuvenation and rest. It all begins now in the fall lighting fires and dawning masks to frighten off evil, reading books, learning and thinking, preparing thoughts and food to sustain body and soul. It is my favorite time of year.


I am very happy with the photograph this time is looks nice if you click on the picture to enlarge them, the lady bug looks wet, the spider has thorny legs, the flowers and plants have such nice texture to see up close.

In autumn the littlest one among us can feel tall with long shadows.

an odd plant makes a final push to insure propagation...


mother makes a push of her own to gather food...



Nightshade, It has a long history of use as a medicine, cosmetic, and poison. Before the Middle Ages, it was used as an anesthetic for surgery, and it was used as a poison by early men, ancient Romans, including the wives of two Emperors, and by Macbeth of Scotland before he became a Scottish King.

Fly away little seeds find a nice bed and sleep until the earth warms again.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
Fall poem by John Muir
