A Poem & A Painting: Sandy’s Flowers

It is well documented that Summer is my favorite season ~ I live at the beach after all 🙂 . However, I must give the Autumn it’s due.  The colors of Nature are so vibrant and brilliant, it’s like a love note to my hue loving heart…

“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.”
–   John Keats,  To Autumn
