26 September 2020 — Oh, it is fall.
Plants in the Dude Chilling Park allotment gardens show why I once called this “the ragged season” …
and a near-by sunflower droops his head in submission.
While humans pile on more clothing, plants start shedding.
Leaves & petals wither & fall away …
seed pods as well.
But some blossoms are still glorious …
and win expert approval.
The Double-Bee Cluster of Appreciation.

/ 29 September 2020I love the chaos of early fall and the sweet surrender of those final blooms that you have captures, it’s so poignant. But I guess you’ll be finding “final” blooms for at least another month on your rambles, right? Thanks for the walk!

/ 2 October 2020yes, around here fall is a very long process – by the time it’s really-truly over, spring is shaking itself awake, so no real ‘winter’ at all

/ 3 October 2020That’s an interesting take on it. I’ll have to chew on that. 🙂
