September


Just wait.
Dry- and dreariness resolve,
the weight shifts (not lifts...)
Ennui turns from boredom
into clear-eyed grief, now
to be understood, simply
as love.

They give me a serene feeling..both picture and poem.

Thanks all. I'm probably not as gloomy as this sounds; but it's interesting to note the universality of these seasonally affected moods...

( No hydrangeas were harmed in the making of the picture - it was already floating there.)

That final comment makes for me the perfect photograph and words to go with it.
