A surprising beauty
Out of death
brings a surprising beauty.
Serene and silence surrounds
the old grey trees.
The blue and white of
the water and sky
opens heavens doors.

Following the Creek: 16 Creek Photos
I was glad to see the snow and ice thawed off of Rice Creek, so I thought I would follow it around and get a few photos. It a little difficult walking in the dead grass; I had to be careful not to turn my ankle. Overall, it was a wonderful day.
Bitter Cold Just A Day Away
Looking back at this day of 40 degree weather, bitter cold and snow was just a day away, and these Mallard ducks were enjoying their last days.
Soon the creek will be iced over.
Leaving the ducks, I headed up this familiar trail. It was supposed to be warm, but there was a cold wind from the northwest. Winter was coming.
Before long my pleasant walk was almost over. The days are short and sunlight will soon be gone.
Autumn Closeups
I’m sure this is just a weed, but in the fall it looks quite beautiful with its white fuzz and shiny golden stems.
Here’s a Monarch sharing space with a Bumblebee.
