Autumn's Shaggy Coat

 

“It was the golden time of year. Every day the leaves grew brighter, the air sharper, the grass more brilliant. The sunsets seemed to expand and melt and stretch for hours, and the brick facades glowed pink, and everything got bluer. How many perfect autumns did a person get?”
 
~Elif Batuman,
 
MOOOOOO.
 There it was, a big field of these Scottish Highland cows, with the autumn sun illuminating them to a honey golden color, and just watching them chew on grass, and turn their heads toward the sun, made me feel better. Laugh if you will, but it fixed some deep anxiety in me. Just nature, doing it's thing, and autumn being beautiful. Marin County always brings me inner joy, I sure wish I still lived in the Bay Area, and could see it all the time.

Wild Things (Photo By Request) And The Leaf Of The Day



"I like this place and could willingly wast my time in it."

~Shakespeare

It's Thursday, and therefore time for an all new #PhotoByRequest challenge on Twitter. This week Karen chose the topic of, "Wild Things." Here again we have another series of photos from last Saturday, only this time it is about the simple nature of the end of summer, and the last of the ugly grass type hedges growing along Castro Valley boulevard. I have no idea what it's called, because I have pretty much hated it my whole life, but the other day the hedges were casting some cool shadows, and the colors were nice against the colors in the background. Anyway, it was the last day of summer... almost... and these had gone to seed, so I decided it might just work for this week's topic!




And now...
