Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Sunday morning web, fog and dew.
A path on the side of a field. Going in under a tree and the disapearing into the fog. A closeup on dew-covered spiderweb on a bridge over a small river. Fog over a small river. A dried up plant, covered in spiderweb and dew, on the edge of a field in fog.

Dahlia by night

One of the dahlias that didn’t make it to the garden this year. Cafe au lait.

A potted dahlia of the variety café au lait. A single, quite large, beige-ish flower. Photographed on my balcony at night.

It’s getting colder and darker, but the dahlias have finally decided it’s time to brighten our day.
