Fall’s Final Fling

As it begins to darken, a little sooner each day 

We feel summer slipping, further away.  

Autumn surrounds us 

And we savor the vivid hues of natures final fall gifts. 

Our gardens are filled with Asters and Chrysanthumus 

Dragonflies weave through the drifting leaves, 

Soon we’ll hear the rhythmic music of soft fall showers, 

The season of gray days will be on us. 

 The unframeable chrysanthemum portrays the futility of the human effort

 to control nature.

Featured Artists for August

Acrylic and mixed media artists Judith Burns will be Artworks Gallery's featured artist for August.  Her exhibit, "Flights of Fancy" will be featured at the Frist Friday reception, August 3 from 5-8.  Live music will be provided by violinist Bev Heising. Wine tasting is available and light snacks will be served.

While living on Whidbey I have been fascinated by it's variety of birds.  From the small hummingbirds that flock to my back porch, to the large herons I see on the edge of the road, I try to capture in color and collage the beauty of these feathered inhabitants who share Whidbey with us.

Yellow swallowtail

Another swallowtail comes to the garden, but this time it's a pale yellow.
