Autumn Ice Sculptures

In a world where things are forgotten like turning a sprinkler off at –10c (about 15F), produces wonders as beautiful as any Autumn color, well not really, but I work with what I have and since I have so little Autumn color here at the ranch I will share instead Autumn Ice Sculptures.  

As many blogs of mine are timeless, there will be some blogs posted here that I will be reposting from my previous blog posts at spaces.  I know many of you from spaces might remember some.  As I have so many new people here I have connected with that I would love to share some of these blogs with as well. So here is one from Oct. 10th 2009.

 

A little Autumn a lot of Ice..

As the sun peaked over the ridge the light show began.
With sprinkler still going the sparkles were flying.

Caught between the colors of fall and the icy world of winter

Wildflowers were frozen in time..

But their beauty continues to shine in a new dimension.

Baubles formed by blades of grass
like diamonds scattered on the lawn.

From every plant a new sculpture grew..

Reaching for the heavens like a bean stock
till the warmth of the sun ended its growth.

But not before a perennial garden of ice sculptures were formed.

Beauty so fleeting as Autumn color
will be here one day and gone the next.

Whatever season it is for you, find whatever beauty you can.
