... colors just seem to pop in Autumn. The humidity has been scraped out of the air, so nothing gets in the way --- they just explode with hues so bright it shocks the eyes with pleasure. Take this sunflower --- golden against cobalt skies. It nearly drove me to my knees to envision such beauty. Such a simple thing but one I needed --- especially today. Daddy would have been 80 years old. Instead of me giving him a present, he gave me one wrapped with the brightest wrappings he could find. (c) 2010, Karla Dorman (10/2)
