Summer’s Backdoor

The early morning

breeze has a freshness

hinting of change

That cool crisp feeling

smelling of Autumn

Late evening breezes echo

this feeling …

this cool crispness

the coming change

 

Summer is holding tight

to each day …

late afternoons

warm a sunlit …

Autumn is sneaking

in Summer’s Backdoor

making its presence felt

as Summer tries

desperately to hold on

One More Day …

Hope in the Storm

High in the upper air

Hawks perfect their

delicate ballet

riding high in the

outer bands of a

dying hurricane

 

Beauty from Chaos

Hope in a Storm

Nature’s Ballet …

NOTE: I saw these beautiful birds taking advantage of air currents stirred by the last of Hurricane Harvey that caused so much death and destruction in my state.

Double Beauty

After the lingering

chaos of a late

summer thunderstorm

framed against the

dark purple-black clouds

to my south

I saw them

Twin Rainbows

shining bright against

the remaining dark clouds

spanning the sky above

from Southwest to Northeast

 

A rare treat of Nature

Side-by-side …

Glorious …

Amazing …

NOTE: Thanks to my friend Elle Ruth who captured this amazing picture. I saw the rainbows but didn’t have the quick thinking to go inside for my camera … I enjoyed their beauty as did she!

Nature’s Elegance

I saw them again …

Just after dawn

this morning

 

Fling in the upper

thermals in a ballet

only winged creatures

can perfect

 

The rising sun caught

one lone hawk

projecting its shadow

on the road

before me

Grace …

Elegance …

As only Nature

Can reveal

Come September …

The air-cooled mornings

are become more and more

Frequent …

 

As the air cools

I am entering another

stage of my life

Some call it

A Milestone

 

For me …

It is the beginning

of a new journey

A new life

For good or bad

 

A journey that

is not a choice

but a journey

I have no choice

but to take

regardless of

Direction
