Mimulus, or Monkey Flower, Trinidad Beach
It isn't just the sunshine after weeks and weeks of foggy, gray days. The sun has come out to play, yes, and we are delighted and oh so grateful, but there is something else going on:
A small shift, a fleeting earthy perfume, here and there a few falling alder leaves, the asters coming into full bloom, the swallows slipping quietly away when nobody was looking. Winged ants. I saw three of them yesterday.
Can you feel it?
Fall is coming.
