New quick poem:

Garden Warfare

My neighbour gardens
like they are at war.
The power tools their artillery
the weedkiller their chemical agent.
Nature must be subdued
all wildness controlled.
I want the Earth to shout
what I can't
to fight back.
But it keeps the peace
like I.
It can only quietly
resist
by killing their brambles.
I can only hope
my organic words
take root
instead.

Reflections on the meaning of reciprocity and relationship with nature. My garden still only tolerates me I think, but I most definitely love it.

Reciprocity I tend my garden it grows. Like my appreciation cultivates it along with the rain, soil and sun. It knows what it needs but can’t tell except in signs I must learn to read. I can’t. It shows. Somehow it forgives as I forget untimely deaths and celebrate what still lives. So it goes… our dance of reciprocation of failing and learning of knowing of growing dedication. © Saraphir Camille Legind

🌾 Gut zu erkennen sind die feinen Staubfäden - zarte Details der Wald-Trespe. Die Gräserblüte ist ein stilles Schauspiel, das leicht übersehen wird.

🌾 Delicate details of the Wood Brome – the long, fine stamens are clearly visible. Grass in bloom is a quiet spectacle, easily missed.

A single frozen snowflake zoomed in 30x

Excellent detail.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest #Hue to hold.

Her early #Leaf's a #flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So #Eden sank to #Grief,

So #Dawn goes down to day.
Nothing #Gold can #Stay.

A magnificent gold/orange-leafed tree shines in the sunlight.

The Little Purple #Aster waits till very late,
Till the #Flowers all have faded from the #Garden gate.
Then when the #World is dreary, her #Buds have all unfurled,
They seek to #Cheer the everchanging, somber #Autumn world.

Close up of purple asters which look like purple Daisies.

The #Autumn has tinged the #Trees with #Gold,
And crimsoned the #Shrubs of the #Hills;
And the full #Seed #Sleeps in the earth's #Bosom so cold;
And #Hope all the #Universe fills.

Frozen red berries with frost on them hang from a tree.

Though summers change and pass away -
Though dies the #Beauty of the hill and plain -
Though warmth and color fade each #Autumn day -
#Hope passes not, and abides to say
That our brightest #Joys shall all come again.

- George Arnold, American #Poet (1834-1865)

Brown leaves atop a frozen pile of wet leaves.

As we prepare for the coming week, remember to give #thanks for the #Garden and all that it adds to #Life on this #Earth.

May we be blessed with:

A little #Sun,
A little #Shower,
A tiny #Seed
A garden #Flower.

A Rose is browned and faded on the stem in a winter scene with grasses.

There's #Rosemary, that's for #Remembrance.
Pray you, love, #Remember.

Alone on the slope of the #Mountain, it grew,
& bathed its light tresses in #Glittering #Dew
The #Bird on its boughs lingered loving & long,
And the #Stream at its feet ever murmured in #Song
It toyed with the #Winds, it was #Happy & #Free;
Oh! the #Silvery #Birch was a flourishing #Tree.

A Group of White Birch trees in an autumn woodland with orange leaves.

#Tigger and #Roo pushed each other about in a friendly way,
and #Kanga said,

"Now then, run along.
You can go and collect fir-cones."

So they went to the Six #Pine #Trees, and threw #Fir-#Cones at each other until they had #Forgotten what they came for.

~A.A. Milne

Warm brown pine cones in an earthen bowl. There is a brown rock in the bowl as well.

#November is a #Spinner
Spinning in the #Mist,
Weaving such a lovely #Web
Of gold and #Amethyst.
In among the #Shadows
She spins till close of day,
Then quietly she folds her #Hands
And puts her #Work away.

A spiderweb hangs on a shrub. The webs are coated in raindrops and the design is perfection. Rainy gray woodland background.

Have you seen at #Autumn Time
Green beads and red beads
Threaded on a #Vine?

Is there any #Handiwork
Prettier than mine?"

Cicely Mary Barker artwork for The Song of the White Bryony #Fairy - a pale yellow fairy holds the Bryony vine which is covered in green, orange, yellow, and red berries.

The #Morns are meeker than they were,
The #Nuts are getting brown;
The #Berry's cheek is plumper,
The #Rose is out of town.
The #Maple wears a gayer scarf,
The #Field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be #OldFashioned,
I'll put a #Trinket on.
