Time Passes Quickly
Please, say it isn’t so… our natural world is clearly communicating we are fast approaching autumn. Where does time go?
Early this morning I walked the edge of our prairie to enjoy scenes blessed with warm sunlight rising over the horizon.

Then, after breakfast, I made a trip or two up and down my favorite section of the Wapsipinicon River. There I saw many cedar waxwings, green herons, my first of autumn osprey (carrying a northern pike), and cutleaf coneflowers.

Each day there are more autumn leaves floating down the river too. Time passes quickly… too quickly.
