Perfection

A symphony;  wild mushroom caps??  Take a good look and savor the shapes and forms, so delicate, so beautiful, a study of stillness, grace and silence.    

The huge tree shades the lovely orchid like flowers with their bird like look , so delicate, even the leaves have a special allure.  

An oddity, a beauty, so different, so alive.  Yes, you have seen all three pictures on another blog but I am out of new pictures and have hopes of going on a few camera runs before the summer is over.   I want to take more pictures for future blogs so you won't be bored.  But . . . who can be bored looking at flowers, especially ones that are so different , so beautiful, so amazingly beautiful that one cannot possibly get enough of them.    Just look at the contrast of colors, textures, a stayman to invite the birds and bees;   a delicate beauty , a small miracle.

The heat is back with us and intends to stay but then summer will soon be over and we will be grousing about the change in weather, where is the sweater, why a rain coat again and heaven forbid get out that winter coat; a season reminder;  weather changes as the months fly bye.  We really do not mind, it is only weather, and  there is not much we can do about it but enjoy it for all its worth.   Like our life cycles, each season brings on something old, something new, something different,  as we grow and glow with the changes in our seasons.    Summer has been wonderful with its sunshine days, cool breezes and even a few hot days that seemed never ending . . but. . . they did and we survived.   It was such fun to make good use of the warm days to picnic, go for a swim, paddle around the lake and enjoy being out of doors.    I enjoy my walks up to the corner and back and more often than not a ride out with my daughters to far away places where the water trails beg for attention.   Fall, especially in the east of our country puts on a beautiful wondrous display of color as the leaves turn and the trees become bare.  They remain that way until the cold comes and the trees take on a shimmer as the frost wraps itself around the limbs and we have some good old pogonip to amuse us  and make us wonder about nature and its changes.  The miracle of a first snow fall that bring silence and wonder along with it.    The fun of sledding, skating, even shoveling and we glow as we look forward to a holiday season.    I know, you will grouse and groan about shopping and all the work entailed in getting ready but you wouldn't change it for anything ...you know you wouldn't.    So all of these words brings about the thought that this year is coming to its end;  in four short months we will be heading into changes;   a new year;   new faces; new places; a new president; change; growth; we will lose a few of our loved ones and we will gain some brand new ones.   Miracles will happen on a daily basis and we should be ready to perpetuate their goodness.    It is called living and you have a duty to do just that ......L I V E.........which means, of course, be good....be kind....be generous......be all you can be and share YOU with those you like and love.     Hugs to all.
