Heaven on Earth


I had to work yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, which caused Kali and me to delay a walk until 5 p.m.  Fortunately, the low, early evening autumn light was perfect for capturing the magic of the grasslands and meadows.



If you enlarge the image above and examine the stems of the sumac clone on the left side, you'll see that bucks have already begun to savage woody vegetation of the appropriate caliper.



It just doesn't get any better--autumn is heaven on earth.

Some beautiful photos, Scott. We have that kind of weather this morning though it seems unlikely to last long. Yesterday it rained solidly for six hours. That's the fleeting beauty of the season.

Many thanks for your compliments, Gail, Carolyn, and Packrat. Modestly, after I downloaded and looked over the images that I took on Sunday evening, I said to Kali (who never looks at my photographs), "I'm really happy with the pictures I took on Sunday afternoon." It's nice to have other's affirmation.

John: We've had a run of really nice autumn days. When it does rain, it's over fairly quickly and we're back to crystal clear blue skies and low humidity. I live for September and October. Thanks for your compliments.
