I woke up this morning and saw this light to the East, from my window. In my "before coffee" state of being, I saw fire in the distant Blue Mountains. There was a moment of panic and then I saw the cloud cover and a yellow orb struggling to break through. It was the sun, not the feared FIRE that plagues our parched foothills.
I grabbed my camera and went out into the front yard. It had to be 20 degrees cooler than yesterday morning and the sun was losing it's battle with the clouds. No fire..., no heat...., just the prospect of Fall coming. Oh joy!
There is a change, a difference that signals the beginning of my favorite seasons. Finally..., a breath taken..., that speaks of Nature's willingness to release her fiery
assault on this beautiful land that I call my home.
Finally..., a moment when I stand at the edge of my garden, knowing that summer is over and that this distant glow is only a tired old rooster saying good morning to a new day.
Tired old rooster sun..., you have had free range long enough.
These photos are stunning, absolutely! GORGEOUS! Thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, wonderful photographs. The wind came up here in the Valley early yesterday evening, strong out of the Delta. You just knew the endless heat was finally breaking, letting fall come in.

ReplyDeleteIt does look like fire. In my "pre-coffee" state, I would have pulled out the garden hose in worry!

ReplyDeleteConnie, your photos are just great. Glad it was the sun and not fire. We here in Alabama have had a lot of rain so there is not a threat of fire this year. I do worry about my home state of California. Fall is in the air here also, and I am loving it. Have a blessed day. Madeline
