Dew

Posted on October 26, 2005 by DL Dorr

For days the Flathead has been buried in fog. In the back yard is a Mountain Ash tree that turns amazing colors in the Fall. Some years it is red, some orange, some yellow. Irregardless, I couldn’t resist shooting this picture of the dew “shroud” that covers the red-orange leaves and berries.

“The basic rules are: Push yourself all the way to the limit and then leave a margin for safety. There’s a kind of mixture of boldness and prudence in that. It breeds self-discipline. And the next rule is: No whining!”

Gary Snyder (1930- ) In Burr Snider: “The Sage of the Sierra”
