Warm Up the Chilly Bees!







The native bees were cold today. Had to warm them up. ♥

Some would reach right out to my hand from the flower they were stranded on, seeking the warmth of my palm like a floatation device in an airy ocean of cold. Others would buzz loudly and refuse my help. The ones that did climb onto my hand, though, would wander around adorably, all over my fingers and wrist as they warmed up. Then they'd start rubbing their heads, and before I knew it, they were warm and flew away. My mom and I did this several times, using this opportunity as a great photo op. .

It was adorable. I love bees.

The Flowers of Fall~



















It's truly amazing how many flowers are still proudly blossoming in the cool, crisp outdoors. Standing like tall fairy-pillars in a blooming kingdom, these flowers have the most robust hues and tints. Ranging from periwinkle purple, to a dainty blush, to salmon-pink and screaming yellow, these flowers light up the quickly cooling world. 

Blossoms aside, the trees, though not quite yet the brilliant epitome of autumn that they were last year, are nonetheless lovely. With every gust of wind, they drop leaves all over those below them as if each delicate, crunchy, used-up solar panel is a chunk of treasured chocolate landing into the bag of an awaiting trick-or-treater. As a wandered down a street lined in tiny-leafed trees, the wind blew just right and set hundreds of the leave hurtling over me. I'm sure plenty were in my hair and more than plenty has somehow snuggled into my jacket. I far from cared, though. The closer I get to nature, the happier I am.

It was such a pleasure to take a stroll outside. It has been forever since I have been to this particular place, and it started my day rather peaceful and airy. All of the Fall decorations made me feel even closer to the coming holidays, too!

Wishing you all a wonderful Fall day! ♥

Ghost Songs


Ghost Songs
 
Legends tell of see-through things
Barely seen by eyes
Silent, slinking, sighing songs
Lost beneath the skies 

A breath of wind seeps through the walls
Of every cabin here
And there are rumors that some have seen
Something white and sheer

They make no sounds when they come
Apart from whistling air
They have no goals at all except
To give a frightful scare

And their scares are terribly good
Causing yelps and screams
Bringing amusement to those floating things
That murmur in quiet teams

What happens to these beings
During the daylight?
None have asked, and they won't tell
For none dare interrupt them each night

Another fall inspired poem I also wrote for a group of friends. 
This one I am particularly fond of, and I hope you enjoy just as much as I do.
I hope to share more poems with you all in the future, because I'll certainly be writing them!

Have a lovely Tuesday! ♥
