Drying Up

The clocks have changed; sunset comes earlier. The low sun cast a rosy hue on these dried up plants. Everywhere, autumn is sapping the colour out of the landscape. Once vibrant greens turn sepia.




These feathery grasses drop their dried up seeds to wait out the winter. Promises for a new season.

Each day more flocks of geese fly over, their constantly honking calling to others to join them. I wonder how long geese live and how many trips like this they take.




The sun sinks down and we head home. A chill is in the air as the darkness settles in.
