Fading

As the sun fell in the west, colors were deepened.  Many things of summer are now fading, and the light brought focus to that fact.

Like the yellow-fade-to-white petals of this Black-eyed Susan.

The setting sun brought out the reds in these leaves, first-fruit of the color change of the coming season. Change is never easy.  

Perhaps the hardest change to watch is to see something once vibrant - fade to the finishing of their cycle.  Especially if we remember their former glory.  Life is not without death.  But neither is life without rebirth - resurrection.

Enjoy!
