Fall's Long Shadows

Long Shadows


Pond at Alewive Pond Farm
Alewive Pund Farm

Long shadows this morning with Indian Summer balm. You could feel the autumn chill like rivulets of air, or roots spreading out here and there, not yet able to take hold of the passing summer, but close. The long shadows made for crisp colors.

Long shadows this morning with Indian Summer balm. You could feel the autumn chill like rivulets of air, or roots spreading out here and there, not yet able to take hold of the passing summer, but close. The long shadows made for crisp colors and a sharper contrast. It occurred to me that you could look out at the pond and it would never be the same, as the seasons and lighting changes it is different moment to moment, and somehow that is a very calming thought. Some reminders of constant change are less soothing--this felt like a meandering stream moving by, or the spring that feeds the pond.
