An Autumn Afternoon in an Irish Cottage Garden
Colours of the season, dogwoods ablaze and Loosestrife turned to straw.
Birch and Beech turn earthy tones.
Near the lake, the cows move slowly in the afternoon heat, seeking shady spots to stand and stare.
Old driftwood from the ocean salutes the cottage.
The horses come to look over the fence, waiting for a treat they are sure to get!
A last flush of yellow on the Hypericum bush holds the moisture from the October air.
The Beech trees will cling onto their leaves for most of the winter, even though the life within has passed.
And little Newts seek a place to over-winter, resting on the back door mat as they make their path towards hibernation.
