"All the months are crude experiments, out of which the perfect September is made." (Virginia Wolff)
This beautiful Monday morning I did what I mentioned five days ago - took myself for a drive out into the countryside.
A half mile after stopping for this picture, I paused on a bridge to see how much water was in the little stream -- and scared up a big blue heron.
Of course I missed a perfect photo op!
The countryside around here is a sea of yellow in every direction.
I think these are Prairie Sunflowers.
Goldenrod is also plentiful along the roadsides.
As is Chicory - one of the few colors of blue that I like.
These were along the road between Green Valley Lake and Summit Lake.
A broader view of the wetlands between the aforementioned lakes.
Before driving across the dam at Green Valley Lake, I stopped to take this photo of the sun sparkling on the water.
It was even brighter than it photographs.
Grasses are among my favorite sights during the fall months.
I love their subdued colors.
"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order." (John Burroughs)
