Peace and Quiet

Finding a quiet place in my town has just become a lot easier.   The seasonal visitors are gone and you can enjoy the beauty in peace and quiet and without having to share the bench.

The colors of the marsh are changing from the greens to the golden tones.  Another week and it will all turn brown.

 

 

My Random 5:

 

1.  By the end of summer I had taken a picture of every sunflower in town.  Now my attention has shifted to the fields of milkpods. 

 



3.  Another subject I find myself gravitating to is a barbed wire fence.  If it's twisted and rusty the better it is.

3.  It's funny how things from decades ago can stick in your mind.  In 5th grade we learned a poem - October's Bright Blue Weather.  I still remember lines from it, especially at this time of year.

And redder still on old stone walls

Are leaves of woodbine twining

I'm not sure if that's woodbine but it's crawling on a rock wall.

4.  During the fall season our town is invaded by leaf peepers.  There are 50 - 75 busses a day crawling through town - a small town with very small streets.  Throw in dozen of huge RV 's towing cars and you have traffic which rivals any big city.

5.  My parting thought

Which butt?  My cigarette butt or my actual butt?
