The days are getting shorter, the sunlight weaker. I sit outside and enjoy the delicate rays of sun on my face, like this still green leaf.

Die Tage werden kürzer, das Sonnenlicht schwächer. Ich sitze draußen und genieße die zarten Sonnenstrahlen auf meinem Gesicht, genauso wie dieses noch grüne Blatt.

A maple leaf upside down on the water in the the way to nowhere. I can go to the same place every week and always find something beautiful, sometimes you don't have to go so far.

There are 4 or 5 species of orange-colored globemallow flowers that can be found in Colorado. Based on the location, the overall appearance, and the shape of the leaves, I deduce that this is Small-leaf Globemallow (Sphaeralcea parvifolia).

There was a mass of grasses, vines and other plants on a slope at Colorado's Red Rock Park, but these spikes of bright orange flowers stood above the tangled greenery--a most delightful sight.
