Around here, there's a bit of a nip in the air. No hard frost yet, but we're flirting dangerously with it.
The sumac is making a great show of red, each leaf taking its own time to make the transition.

Even the poison ivy is beautiful now.
The same plant I once feared is now bringing me joy—go figure.
In autumn, everything shows its hidden beauty. |

Green gives way to yellow. Attachment gives way to flight.
Locust leaves and milkweed seeds fill the air as I walk. |
What a wonder to see what nature has accomplished once again.
Somehow, a strong, curving seed pod, rough on the outside but like rubber within, a wiry stem, and feather-light seeds are all fashioned from nothing but sunlight, water and earth...
...with no effort from me. |

Even old roses still hold their charm at the end of the year.
While young buds, hopelessly optimistic, give one last expression to a season-long drive to create. |
