Nature’s Bouquet

Oct 022012
 

It was a beautiful Fall weekend in the Northwoods.  Just a week ago there was only a smattering of color change in the foliage, but cooler temperatures changed that really quick.

Since my assistance was not needed on the building of the shed on Saturday, I took the opportunity to capture the colors that Mother Nature was painting all around me.

And I must say, she is doing a mighty fine job.

Soon the lawn will be carpeted in a blanket of yellow, orange and red leaves that will crinkle under your footsteps (and elicit grumbling from Rick on cleaning it all up).

One thing that I really love about this time of year (besides the beautiful trees) is the sweet scent that surrounds me as I walk amongst the trees.

It’s as if I’m enveloped in one giant bouquet.

Despite the light frosts that cover the ground in the early morning hours, there are still a few wildflowers that refuse to give in to hibernation.

It’s as if they are shaking their proverbial fists at Fall and won’t go down without a fight, using every ounce of energy in these last few days of warmth to produce offspring.

Although I know that it’s only a matter of time before that fluffy white stuff arrives, I’m going to keep my thoughts positive and remember that spring is only 6 short months away.
