october hues
flowers gone to seed
fade away
As the light fades and frosts arrive, the birds are busy in the backyard, searching with great enthusiasm for fading insects, seeds, or other nourishment. The coneflowers have gone to seed, now starkly standing in the garden, side by side. It is beautiful, with a touch of melancholy.
(I’m trying other forms of art than watercolour – I’ve been playing around with the most simple of art tools: a ballpoint pen. Great fun!)
