Flaxen and Shining

The woods around my house at the beginning of sunset, looking out from the front yard...

I can't believe how golden everything is.

It looks like the sun has woven its light into the body of each leaf

or like the trees are drinking in flaxen liquor up through each cambium layer and into its veins.

Shining out from within.

I have also been enjoying the mellifluous sound of birdsong as they fatten themselves up with seed at our window feeder.

They land on the chimes on the other side of the door waiting for their turn at feeder and when they jump off in excitement, they jangle the metal pipes into reverberation!

So peaceful and melodic!

P.S. I've noticed a little green light/orb in third and fourth photo.

Do you see it?

What do you suppose it could be... faeries at play?...

I feel very lucky to live in such a private place,

surrounded by trees.

I love being able to see forest everywhere I look.

Trees sooth my soul.

They are my friends.

Right now it is so beautiful out and the maples are all lit up in the sun.

The sunny, golden, yellow of the leaves lifts my spirits.

It is like they are glowing with the sunlight shining through!

This color is one I have been really drawn to lately.

I don't know if it is the season or just the stirring of my solar plexus when I absorb this tawny hue into my core.

It makes me happy,

inspired,

serene,

and feel vibrant!

I also LOVE cosmos

and these ones seem to be trying to take over my yard (which is ok by me!).

Another color I have been feeling in my core as well.

What colors are you drawn to lately?
