William Heritage Winery, Summer 2019
Nature’s gift unfolds–
we’re ensorcelled by sun, moon
rising and setting
gold and silver glow, whisper
there is truth in this beauty.

Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Wow, what vibrant colors! Indeed “there is truth in this beauty”!
Thank you very much.
The photo was taken in the summer. Things had been very stressful, and I was at a winery trying to relax when my mom’s aide called. I ended up talking to her and my sister and we got the situation sorted out. When I turned around, I saw this sunset–which I would not have seen if I hadn’t gotten up and walked away from where we were sitting to take the phone call. 🙂
Oh, my, Nature must have been eavesdropping and decided to try and lift your spirits with the gift of a sunset. 🙂
Yes, I think so. Thank you. 🙂
Beautiful words to go with this amazing photograph. Merril your work is fabulous!
Thank you–that’s very kind, Holly!
Oh yes … and soon there will be more vibrant colors to be added to that very scene.
Yes. We were actually back there over the weekend. 😉
… and the colors we probably well on display!
How beautiful, Merril! I think sometimes the universe gives us special gifts when we least expect them. You’re a good daughter. ❤
Thank you very much, Colleen. ❤
Beautiful, Merril! What a fantastic photo, too!
Thank you very much, Jill!
And truth in these words.
What a wonderful gift to you and to us. (K)
That picture is AH-MAY-ZING!
And your tanka is lovely, as well…
Thank you! The photo was taken in the summer, and I used it somewhere before. Maybe in a musing.
Worth the double- dipping 😉

I had to look that one up. Thanks for ensorcelling, Merril
You’re quite welcome, Derrick!
What a gorgeous picture. You’re right, there’s so much beauty in nature––such a gift. 😀 xo
