A Flower of the Field...




"Nothing is more fleeting than the external form,
which withers and alters like the flowers of the field 
at the appearance of autumn."
Umberto Eco


I didn't recognize the name Umberto Eco so I checked wikepedia...
He's a 20th/21st Century philosopher and writer...
You might recognize the name of his first novel, The Name of the Rose...
It was made into the movie of the same name starring 
Sean Connery and Christian Slater...
Saw the movie...didn't read the book!!!


I'm linking to...

  4. Ah, the deep yellow of fall blooms. So lovely. We didn't get up to Mammoth this summer :( -- must be the 1st time in years we did not, so going thru your photos is a real treat.
    I've read part of The Name of the Rose, and part of Foucault's Pendulum, and a lot of The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, but have yet to finish any of his work. I did see the Name of the Rose movie though. I think I will just be happy with that.
