I love to roam around my “backyard” with its wonderful long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Summer still hangs on but there are little clues to the coming of Autumn.

I never tire of the view from our kitchen window here in rural Virginia.
This dawn foretold an oncoming rain storm
and a rainbow that was another missed photo-op.

Never Alone in the Country

It was a clear afternoon in Virginia, in spite of looming clouds. And the Blue Ridge Mountains called me out on the deck for cooler temps. And there was something entrancing about the light.
I was not alone.
An agile young deer who could have leaped over the pasture fence, simply crawled right through a nice little gap in the rungs.
And another well fed deer looked up at me. “Hello”, I said in my softest deer-like voice, and she simply kept dining on the last green grass of summer.
Two hummingbirds made their fly-by challenges for last minute dips at the feeder. I have heard that hummers need to stock up on nectar for their long flights to winter in Venezuela.
I am never alone in the country.
Nature’s Apology

A Virginia View
After foreboding clouds and thunder the air turned cool and dry and the sun lit up our mountain valley. I sat outside watching happy hummingbirds, butterflies, and the mother deer and her young ones.
We were all celebrating nature’s wondrous apology.
“Sorry ,” she said, “for the unrelenting heat wave and all the storms, humidity and heavy rains!
But here is a taste of autumn joy to come!”
Nature’s Three in One Riddle

I met this tree (or these three trees) some years ago, but never recognized the odd merger until now. Or is it one tree and three big branches growing from it’s trunk?
At any rate, maybe three really is a crowd.

It snowed yesterday and it was a beautiful snow, but then the sun arrived and left another scene. This is one more sweeping, ever-changing view of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia!

Notes on a Virginia Winter

It was a big snow and if the changed landscape wasn’t enough to remind me that it’s winter, well the bluejays and the little hungry birds at the feeder let me know in “no uncertain terms.”
Things are melting now, but there is still enough snow to make me marvel at an ordinary view that is still transformed with shadows punctuated by the rays of an emerging sun.
How beautiful winter can be.
