Nature seems to be collaborating to create works of art everywhere! First bugs and leaves.
Then bugs and tree limbs.
And leaves and hail.
The Rhea rose is in full, glorious bloom.

Summer cedes to winter in one afternoon as the redbud bushes hint of autumn.
The first precipitation of the season was hail, taking us from summer to winter in under 24 hours!
