A Morning Walk

On my morning walk this morning, along the ponds in my neighborhood, I looked for nature photo ops, and found many signs of fall.

An acorn forming on an oak tree.
Grapes ripening in this mini-vineyard.
Goldenrod.
Goldenrod everywhere.
Sumac – soon the foliage will turn bright red-orange.
Sunflowers.
More sun flowers…or maybe yellow cone flowers.
Identified as New England Asters.
Several milkweed pods on this stem.
A milkweed pod soon to pop open.
A curious cat. Animals always are worth a photo…
‘Tis the season for apples.
Psalm 23: 1-4

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,
       he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
       for his name’s sake.
 Even though I walk
      through the darkest valley,
      I will fear no evil,
     for you are with me;
     your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me
But summer is not over yet…my hibiscus in bloom, this week.
