Flower skeletons  Red succulents and dried grass  Fall tundra stillness

When sunflowers fade  Chamisa and asters peak  Aspens soon follow

Seaweed swirled palette  Flowing patterns of the tides   Rearranged daily

Fiery sunset lake  Hides beetle devastation  Masked in loveliness

In just the right place  Mysterious standing stones  Celebrate balance

Barked tree trunk decay  Hosts tiered turkey tail colors  Continuing life

Figures hand in hand  Appearing from within stone  Hold unheard secrets

Late blooming gentian  Unfurl their purple petals  Soaking in the sun

Caution to the wind  I follow this simple path  Soaring beyond fear

Bidding fond farewell  Apache plume makes seed pods  In cheery fashion
