This is the time of the year
when late summer and early autumn join together
as the autumn equinox approaches.
I notice this as the hydrangea leaves change colour with splashes of red.
The petals take on a more muted shade
and shades of green come back rather like in the springtime
The dahlias are having their last fling in glorious full bloom
and showing the intensity of their varied colours
Bees are still busy taking advantage of the sunny days to collect pollen.
and the Golden Rod lights up the gardens
and Rudbeckia blooms dazzle us with their sunshine petals
until one day it starts to rain
and the first autumn leaf floats down to remind us
a change in seasons is taking place.

The last blog header to remind me of earlier days
when sunflowers still waved in the fields.
