Another summer coming to an end….

 
As the sun was rising; the fog from the cool night hung like a blanket over the prairie. A backstop now covered with plant growth loomed over the area. Now it's only purpose was to serve as a memory of the prairies past. I love this time of day, especially when the woods are covered with fog. This is a magical time for me. A light coat of moisture that glistens like small diamonds with the soft new light of sunrise covers the foliage. The fog looks like a low lying rainbow as the new light cuts through it. On this morning I was happy to see that several new seed pods had opened and had a light mist on them. At some angles this caused the fine white cotton fibers to have a slight cast of color. The micro sized moisture droplets were a bonus adding aglass-like surface to them. Some of the pods had small bugs feeding on the outer covering, helping them to open. There were also a few flowers hanging on until the very end.
Let the change of color begin….
