Autumn's sky.
It has a different bright blue hue,
Than that of summer - perhaps just a bit less of the brilliant blue?
There's still a brightness that captivates the eye.
In the morning hours, it's a relief
When the sun finally brightens up the sky
That seems to stay dark so much longer
Than it did just days ago...
There's a crispness in the air now.
What can I compare it to? I don't know.
It's not stale, but it's not fresh either.
It's just that "crisp" that only comes with fall...
It kind of acts as an indication that dormancy is on its way.
Not very far off.
That season is coming when everything growing from the earth
Takes a much needed rest.
I sometimes feel I could or should fall into that category. But I don't.
Couldn't I just be a bear for those months & snooze the
Cold days & nights away?
Nope, I need to remain awake.
But the trees & the plants.
The gardens & those that call them the garden & ground "home".
They slumber.
The mornings are chilly now.
There is a slight blanket of frost & sometimes a fog that covers the
Landscape.
A very cool fog, unlike the warm fog of summer.
A mist that means change is on its way.
Don't forget. It's drawing near, so get ready.
Put summer to bed & get the sweaters out from hiding. Now they're "it".
The greens outside fade into browns, reds, golds, rusts, & oranges.
The colors contrast perfectly with that blue in the sky.
There's something refreshing about this color clash.
So much life in the spectrum of various hues.
They are so different from one another, yet they go together perfectly.
They mesh & blend quite well.
So well, in fact, that it could be a world-renown painting.
A work of art by a Grand Artist.
Countless strokes of genius before me as I gaze at the landscape.
Simply award winning, but nothing simple about it all.
This beauty I see.
It can't adequately be captured by a camera lens or with mere words.
One can only view it live & in person.
Be prepared to be
Awestruck. Completely stupified in amazement at the glory of it all.
You know, this Artist knows what they're doing.
This Artist has greater skill than any other.
He has put it all together - made total sense of every
Contrast & clash of color.
Every change that occurs is part of His annual award-winning Masterpiece.
Yep, He knows what He's doing.
I stand in autumnal awe of what The Artist has put together before me.
Time & time again, I stand in awe...
