Summer is quickly
and in many areas, wickedly passing.
My thoughts and prayers still continue to all those who are working to get some semblance of order back into your life. Hurricane season still frowns down.
I hope it swiftly and quietly passes.
I hope it swiftly and quietly passes.
A short 6 weeks of summers quick life as seen
through the Black eyed Susan (rudbeckia).
one of my small wild areas behind my house,
from last year - 2010

the spiky petals of black eyed Susan start to unfurl
petals slowly spread, letting the still flat 'eye' peek
eyes open and forming the hat shaped seed-head
fat heads full with seed winding down to seasons end

My flower garden areas did poorly this year, especially the ones I replanted with hopes of new colors and species to share. Luckily, I only had to deal with the horrible humid heat and drought spell that crossed the country, so I can not complain weather wise. I hope these golden beauties fill your hearts with rays of new hope and sunshine that will rise on better days ahead.
Please share your Wednesdays of wordless, word-full or witty.
Link up, I love to visit and see your views on your part of the world.
Walls of gold encircle
Pasturelands and plains,
Rimming hills and meadows, Edging country lanes.
Skirting cloistered forests,
Girdling fen and down,
Bordering the roadsides,
Shutting in the town.
Concentrated splendor
Of the year they hold,
Fortresses enclosing
Summer's garnered gold.
