Moon smiles above tattered clouds Morning Glories climb greet sun Rays pierce dewdrops Drying nocturnal tears Summer prepares its winter’s bed Time to call it a season
Lucky guy. Still green with hoards of Cicadas here . My Crepe Myrtles are hanging ver with giant blooms. When the Cicadas stop there incessant noise I’ll know it’s fall . Of course now it’s love bug season. Eek!
Are those the black and orange love bugs?
Just black ( I think I try not to get that close). They stick to windshields and face shields!
Lovely pics and a beautiful poem…a winning combination.
No… quiet weekend for us. We have had lots of guests here at the LakeHouse so quiet feels good. I am making a pot of beef and bean barley soup today. I’m sitting out on the front porch as I type and it’s sprinkling with rain with a damp 61 degrees. Perfect soup weather!
Sounds great.
Love that crescent moon! The middle photo captures that end-of-the-summer, tangled, wild and weary look that foreshadows autumn each year. Love it.
You are a true fountain of jocosity, inspiration and truth.
Hah! I do have my moments…😁
I really enjoyed your words and photos, Timothy, embracing the mood and the glory of the changing season. Loved the smiling moon in the clouds, the lively wildflowers, and the stunning sky scene. My favorite line was the last: “Time to call it a season.”
Thanks, Jet, “Time to call it a season” goes with summer and winter out here as we want respite from heat of one and cold of the other. Fall is a time that could go on forever in its pleasantness and pallet of colors. Springtime could go on forever, also, as we enjoy the resurgence of life.
Lovely poetry, and stunning pics.
Thanks, Jeff. I’m happy you liked them.
I did, very much. You’re most welcome.
Beautiful poem. The entire post is beautiful 👏🤗
Thanks, Gabriela. I’m happy you liked it. We made a giant green chile enchilada this afternoon. Did you find Italian food?
My pleasure. It’s beautiful.
You guys are fantastic. A giant green chile enchilada!!!!
Yes, we had veal Marsala and the Bolognese sauce is ready. It will go on pasta tomorrow 😊
Sounds delicious.
😊
This is beautiful, I’m afraid it is time to call it a season,, though it will not be fall here for another few months. 🍂🍁
We’re starting to cool down a little, and the Cottonwoods have a few yellow leaves. They are ready to call it a season. Thanks, Holly.

This is great! I enjoyed it. I read it over and over and again and again and … 😀 But no new term to learn. Hope to find one in the next post.
I’ll try to use more esoteric words when I can. Thanks, Eunice.
I get it, Sir 🙏.
Yes!
Beautiful words and images. Especially loved the last capture.
Thanks, Cindy. We had a nice sunset tonight.
How beautiful is that! 😃
Thanks, Sam.
Gorgeous xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thanks, Shey.
You were right about the painter being busy and oh, I love that smiling moon!
Thanks, Marina.

That moon was smiling!
Enjoyed your poetry… very nice.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Thanks, Nancy. Do you have special plans for Memorial Day?

Thanks, Mary Jo. Exactly. You got it.
So beautiful!
Thanks, Heidi.
I saw that last sliver of moon here, too. It was beautiful! I am ready to call it a season, too.
Thanks, Lavinia. The new moon is on the 7th I think.
My calendar says new moon 8:52 PM EDT on 9/6. Close enough.
The photos and poem are both so beautiful. “Drying nocturnal tears” is such a great line.
Thanks, JYP. I’m happy you liked it.
What a lovely poem, Timothy. You are truly gifted. Of course the photos are outstanding, too.
Thanks, Dale. I really appreciate your wonderful comment.
I always speak true 🙂

Hopefully we can hold on to summer just a while longer.
15 days of summer left. Thanks, Brian.
Your pics show the end of summer to be a sweet convergence into fall!
I love walking in the fall!
Cute ending to a lovely poem!
Thanks, Resa. Fall is so beautiful out here.
Lovely here, too… even in the city!
Sublime Tim.
Thanks, Amber.
Clever you Tim! Great line … time to call it a season! Wonderful words and top shots …

Those words are so poignant and the photos so lovely.
