In a world where things are forgotten like turning a sprinkler off at –10c (about 15F), produces wonders as beautiful as any Autumn color, well not really, but I work with what I have and since I have so little Autumn color here at the ranch I will share instead Autumn Ice Sculptures.

A little Autumn a lot of Ice..

As the sun peaked over the ridge the light show began.

With sprinkler still going the sparkles were flying.

Caught between the colors of fall and the icy world of winter

Wildflowers were frozen in time..

But their beauty continues to shine in a new dimension.

Baubles formed by blades of grass
like diamonds scattered on the lawn.

From every plant a new sculpture grew..

Reaching for the heavens like a bean stock

till the warmth of the sun ended its growth.

But not before a perennial garden of ice sculptures were formed.

Beauty so fleeting as Autumn color

will be here one day and gone the next.

Whatever season it is for you, find whatever beauty you can.

To those celebrating Thanksgiving

To everyone else

Good Morning…..     Good Afternoon……     Good Night…….

Whatever it is to you…
