Onward To October


October began today with a quick change of weather
plunging us instantly into Autumn.


At the end of last month,
we were equally awed and spooked
by a Blood Moon caused by the lunar eclipse
on September 27th.


Since then, we have been treated,
nightly,
to glowing red skies and


sunsets,
with such a profound glow
that their colours seep into my windows
drawing my eyes, like a magnet,
to the sky.


Even the flowers,
long since having lost their petals
but eager to join in the celebrations 
have taken to catching the last light of day
in their seedy legs
causing all kinds of eerie patterns
for me to capture.

For now, I'm enjoying every red moment :)

And before we know it,
Halloween will be here!

8 Days Left


Halloween in 8 days !
I'm dressing as a witch
(comes naturally to me - hee hee)
What's your favourite costume?

These are our front yard decorations.

Child of the Trees


I have always felt the living presence of trees.
The forest that calls to me as deeply as I breathe,
As though the woods were marrow of my bone,
As though I myself were a tree.

From the poem: The Presence of Trees, by Michael S. Glaser

Lavender and Old Lace

The cold October air has brought a pink blush to the Hydrangea bushes.  The clusters of rounded pink and cream petals swirl together, transforming the dreary garden into a soft, romantic cloud.
