SkyWatch Friday: Catalogue, question, contemplate, and see
Tranquility at length, when autumn comes,
Will lie upon the spirit like that haze
Touching far islands on fine autumn days
With tenderest blue, like bloom on purple plums;
Harvest will ring, but not as summer hums,
With noisy enterprise -- to broaden, raise,
Proceed, proclaim, establish: autumn stays
The marching year one moment; stills the drums.
Then sits the insistent cricket in the grass;
But on the gravel crawls the chilly bee;
And all is over that could come to pass
Last year; excepting this: the mind is free
One moment, to compute, refute, amass,
Catalogue, question, contemplate, and see.

Have a great weekend!
Wow!!!....after just a tad of contemplation, I have decided that this is breathtaking!! I love the ironwork and soft glow of the globes against the beautiful colors in the sunset. Ready to be framed J., and the ESVM is great with it..............G.

Great silhouette against that gorgeous sky!
Great photograph! I really like the globes against the beautiful sky.
That is a beautiful picture.
We rode the motorcycle to Ft. Pillow, state park, civil war site, earlier this week, 333 mile ride. On the way home the sun was setting behind us. I could wee it in both side view mirrors on the cruiser. That would have made an interesting picture, but the camera was in the saddle bag.
Breathtaking picture. It's full of mystery!
Great shot!
Beautiful.
