Reflection Pool at Sunset © 2013 Bo Mackison
“Every day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbon.’ ~ Ruth Ann Schabacker
A walk through gardens in an autumn evening is a gentling walk. The colors are muted, less brilliant than in full summer sunlight, yet they take on a preciousness of their own. Nuances of colors, the mark of changing seasons. A few late season flowers bloom in full glory, surrounded by dropped petals and browning blossoms of flowers past their prime.
The reflection pool, at rest in the evening pause, takes on the autumn colors of yellows, oranges. The last water lilies are in bloom. The grasses, seeded, shimmer in gold and silver. Leaves fall, catch the slightest of breezes, and quiver through the air.
It is a peaceful time, this transition time from sunset to twilight.

I feel at peace after reading your words, and letting myself be drawn into your image.
Untying…untying. I wish I were there, looking into the reflecting pool. Beautiful, Bo.
