Matthaei Botanical Gardens

 

Just a spot to sit in the grove of trees
at Matthaei Botanical Gardens
 in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Some very pretty zinnias, a double cosmos
 and a Rose of Sharon greeted in the late summer gardens.
Fun exploring with the Schu crew
 for the morning.
All sorts of tropicals hang out in the conservatory.
A funky cacti is full 
of many intricacies.
A  LIVE wall is an interesting
 greeting on a shadier side.
A fun wind whirly 
adds lots of movement.
Light and shadow is a foreshadowing reminder
 of the changing seasons of the days as we move to fall.
Natural rhythm moving toward the end of growth.
The slide to shorter days and the slow times coming.
Even if our days seem to move so quickly forward-
 a morning in the gardens resets our clock
 to know it is time to adjust. 
Breathing in a deep summer pulse one more time.
