And So It Begins

Autumn is slowly showing Herself in all Her splendid magnificence. Our temperatures overall have remained warm, too warm for the leaves to change color. It both looks and feels like September yet with speckles of Fall colors sporadically seen. Yet, a friend said yesterday to me, “Mother is having an orgasm at last!” I grinned, then laughed, and agreed. Yep, Autumn arrives with Mother screaming in all Her Ecstasy ….. OH GOD!

Tuesday I took my cameras to one of our parks. While driving there I realized I was overdressed so when I reached my destination and parked my car, I stepped out of my car to take off what I was wearing. Yep, a strip in the parking lot oh yes I did. [Can you hear the strip tease music?] LOL

Three sets of equipment and two sweatshirts came off, being careful of course that my shirt did not lift up. In putting on only one sweatshirt and then again my camera carrying equipment, a man saw me and asked, “What’s with all the do-dads you have on? Usually you see mothers putting stuff like that on.” I answered, “Those are for my cameras.” With a blank look on his face, he in turn asked, “Huh?” I repeated, “My cameras” and went on to pull out from my car seat my long lens. His eyes rounded like saucers. Yep, that would be one of my cameras.

I had a good giggle over how that man looked when he saw my huge lens.

After wishing that man to have a good day and with a huge smile on my face, I eagerly walked into the forest. There my soul swooned. Oh, Mother!!! I SEE You! I AM here!!! At last! I’m here! The sights, the sounds, the smells, the energy all lifted me on high as I entered Paradise.

Along the way a bit later, I met up with two other photographers and in our conversation, the subject that all photographers at this time of year are concerned about, came up. The woman stated, “According to the news our Fall color peak will be one week late this year.” My mouth opened and out flew, “Anyone connected to Nature knows that this year the peak will be later than it was last year. All you have to do is look and see what Mother is doing. You don’t need the news to tell you that.” My tone was matter of fact, not meant to offend in the least. This is how I live my life. I listen to and observe Mother.

From the expression on her face, however, I deduced that what I said she did not approve of. With that, I wished the both of these photographers a good day as I quietly walked away. Friends, I owe no one any explanations for what I say nor do I need anyone’s permission or approval to voice what I know to be true for me. I’ve arrived at the Golden Gate that announces …. I AM who I AM. No excuses, no explanations are necessary for I truly Love myself with Love being the Cornerstone of my life.

Mother that day gave me a thrill as She always does so that I may have the privilege to thrill you. Yes I had to have sharp eyes to spot some of Her Fall Colors, but in so doing I found Treasures Galore. While on that Journey I met with some “friends” who let me take their pictures. Do enjoy my first post of Autumn. Just you wait, for what is to come will be a blast straight from Heaven!! Hold on for here we GO!!!

And to my great excitement I still have Roses growing in my garden. Here is one of them:
