A Burst of Seeds

A Burst of Seeds, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.

Walking in the woods in autumn - even decay has its beauty. The milkweed has sent out its seeds: promises for next year.

Reflections in a pond - it is easy to imagine another world at  the bottom with the Lady of the Lake living there.

A few late leaves cling to the branches, though most of the trees are bare. They shimmer with the gold of the low lying sun.

Dead trees lie on the forest floor. Fungus takes hold helping to break down the old wood to bring new life.

Walking through the woods. Snow decorates every upturned surface. While primary colours have been replaced by browns and white, there are many textures to catch the eye. Details that are overlooked in the riot of summer call attention to themselves in winter.
