 "The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire." Pamela Hansford Johnson

 Some Images from the past two weeks  of the haze and smoke and heat travelled in from B.C. Interior forest fires.....

We are the birds of fire,We fly over the sky.
Our light is a voice:We make a road
For the spirit to pass over." -  Algonquin Song of the Stars

 "But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness.  The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head ... The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on." -  Robert Finch 

 END of Summer. The sunflowers fall.The rain comes.

 "I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day."     -  F. Frankfort Moore
