Summer slips away
A few leaves fall here and there
Flowers turn to seed.
Art Prescription: Lovely walk with friend’s today at NC Botanical Gardens. Many of the flowers have turned to seed which means abundant food for the song-birds. Seed pods are so intricate and a challenge to draw. Here are my cone-flowers and cosmos going to seed. Pen and ink in journal.

Summer is slipping away here in Scotland too.
Do you feel some melancholy? I do, but then I love fall and winter too. Where are you in Scotland? I’ve never been.
I always wish summer would last longer – autumn comes so early here! So yes, there is a bit of melancholy at the end of summer. But I do love sunny autumn days, when the sun is warm but the air cool, and of course in a month or so we will have beautiful colours on all the trees. I’m in central Scotland, near Stirling.
