Sunflower's Bounty

Summer's end brings many changes as Autumn takes hold.


As I walked among the trees, the shrubs, the plants, the flowers and the gardens of Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood on Sunday, I was reminded of Summer, but also of what is to come with this new season. The plants and flowers were beginning to show signs of want. I lingered among the tall stalks seeking to capture the moment. ENJOY!

SUNFLOWERS . . .
Sunflowers stood tall in a small garden patch.
Flowers hung heavy on lanky stalks.
Leaves dried and brittle.
Blooms devoid of color.
Seeds the only proof of life.
