Morning in the Tall Flower Meadow before the first beams hit lingers with my coffee. It is good light for fading colors.
Evening light is bold and golden, some what of a challenge for picture taking in the strong contrast between forest shade and low sun on high beam. There have been no clouds of late. A dry spell, not unusual for this time of year, has come to roost.
I wander about looking to see where the light will work. Sometimes it doesn't and I have to wait until the beams have moved with a mountain's shadow.
I wander through a garden ebbing into fall in a new light.
And it is packed with life attending to all in bloom.
Blue asters and white Snakeroot cover the mountain still nice in their post hurricane lean. It is a jumbled look full of color before the leaves even begin the big turn.
Perched atop the scenic byway the entire mountain directly above can be watched. Fall is coming. The monotone of green is already disturbed.
The last rays are captured in panicles of grass.
And a raw mobile looks like it was painted gold.
The chimney has moved into the shade of the forest as a wander back home, better for picture taking.
And a wild cultivated meadow does the big end of season show.

Ooh I like that mobile; barrel hoops? Did you hang them separately on the branch or are they connected together somehow? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
Yes they are old barrel hoops wired together as one mobile and then hung from a branch.
Cool, thanks. I collect those hoops at garage sales; made a sphere already but looking for other ideas.
Beautiful post, thanks.
Your fall garden is glorious. It seems to have recovered from the beating it got from the tropical storm's remnants? And that chimney ... I just want to pull up a chair and have a glass of wine there, tho it looks like I might tumble downhill.
You're right about the light. I was shocked to notice last week that the sun is now slanting over a small stand of pines in the mornings and only touches my bed of tomato plants at high noon. When did that happen?
Thanks Jan.
CC, the great notion for the chimney is to build a deck on top of the old foundation walls making it level to the hearth. Then we can have wine and a fire by the chimney. I have had two stone masons look at it and they think it is in pretty good shape considering.
What a wonderful idea!
