The lonely bloom amongst all the seed heads waiting to be buried.
The tomatoes that aren't exciting anymore:
The grasses forming seed heads of their own:
The lonely, empty nest that just a few short months ago held so much promise:
And, the koi languishing in the bottom of the pond almost as if they're practicing hibernation. (By the way, Amber, Erin and Nancy, can you spot Alabaster, Fu Manchu and Cubbie?)
But, there's beauty too and lots of it. Otherwise how could we ever bear the closing down of warmth and sunshine to start the dark, cold season of winter.

Fall is definitely a bittersweet time. You captured that perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI also have a bittersweet time with fall, so I know exactly what you are saying. I love the lonely last bloom that you captured.
ReplyDeleteAnd aww, Fu Manchu!
Oh, that bird's nest! It looks so lost and lonely. I'd never thought of fall that way before.
ReplyDeleteok, i hear you on the bitterness of it all. i like that you took your pictures a different route than the rest. i like your perspective.
ReplyDeleteLove those fish! They're your? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI never really saw fall as bittersweet...until now. I have always LOVED the hibernation aspect of the end of summer. The lonely nest is a great shot.
ReplyDeleteI love all of these shots!! They're really great! It's so sad to see the tomato plant, but they were good while they lasted! Mmmmmmm!!! And for some reason I can't find Alabaster!! :( I was thinking he was the white one that is under Tiger Woods? But then I was thinking he changed color. Hmmmm....
ReplyDeleteLove,
Amber
Bittersweet yes, but I still love it. And yes, I think I have spotted Cubbie.
