Summer blossoms fade, as fruit and seed ripen into autumn’s brilliance,

while fields and gardens bulge with nature’s bounty.

As our sun sets ever-farther southwest, days shift cooler – nights longer.

Rich cinnamon scents from fallen fruit and withering berries swirl with woodsmoke upon a chill breeze,

underfoot brown maple leaves crunch

releasing their crisp essence.

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

Thank you Tina for featuring my “Spring” offering when you introduced this week’s theme. The seasons go round and round, and are quite definitive in the Pacific Northwest!
