The face of change



Autumn has come to the flat lands. And just when you start to think it's all about the colors, look around for the textures. This past weekend I was hiking with a friend through a prairie field. In the distance were beautiful trees dressed in their wonderful colors of orange, red and yellow. As we stepped to the edge of the trail to look at the wild grass, these seed pods caught my eye. Their dead, gray orbs stood in stark contrast against the warm grasses. Autumn felt more dimensional with this discovery. It's not just the leaves that are changing with the seasons. Everything is changing.

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Those pods looks quite ghostly. The mountains ehre are starting to erupt in color, I was visiting Mom on Sunday and I could even smell Fall.
