I wonder if the flowers whisper to one another,
when it's time,
"Make seed!"
How do they know,
when the sky is still a brilliant crystal blue
and the sun shines bright and warm?
Summer lingers, teasing us
with one last sweet taste,
and then it's gone.
Beautiful post...
ReplyDeleteIf we could only appreciate the dying as much as the blooming. Deep circuits of when and how embedded into each cell...or a loving whisper from the garden angels...now!
ReplyDeleteSuch glorious tributes to this turning time...
ReplyDeletewe all simply know when it's time to let our seeds blow on the breeze.
Wonderful photographs...I especially like the sunflower seed head.
ReplyDeleteWe were teased by summer yesterday but I think its probably gone now....

ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!! I love waterlilies!! They are so lovely!
It seems like you had a great time
at Camp Joy. The pond(lake?)looks so beautiful and peaceful with lots of waterlilies.
As for the plants in the fourth and fifth photos, I suppose they might be lotuses because the stems rise above the surface toward the heavens and they have round leaves without lacinias. I've posted about lotuses. If you are interested in lotuses, please take a glance at my old post.
