I am humbled by nature

Poets were and are inspired by Spring and Nature. By us October is the middle of Spring and Nature is like a teenager experimenting with different looks before she settles into a refined look for Summer.

The valley is draped in so many shades of green that one cannot even get names for. The vineyards are a bright green with muted edges that shines in the bright sunshine and the orange/red vygies along the road looks like little cool contained bushfires in the veld. I wonder if one can ever capture the true abundance of colours and shades of nature on a canvas or in a photograph. I have tried and always realise that sunshine adds so many relections to a colour that one can capture a moment in the life of a colour but never the true colour.

The garden is bursting into life and every weekend is a new adveture in discovering the beauty of it. I am humbled by the brilliance of nature and cannot wait for the next surprise.
