Musings

Today I made decisions this morning and kinda coasted through the afternoon on auto-pilot.
I’m enjoying the yellow leaves that are coming down now. On the other hand, the fall blooms are also compelling! (Thanks, D, for this one!)

As my astute spouse noted, there’s no evidence of a tree-fall; instead, this is voluntary house-surgery.

Another gorgeous autumn day in which we avoided doing much constructive to prepare for giving thanks later in the week. Sometimes playing hooky is a smart move.
Note to CM: I found this flower at the BotGarden; it’s not in MY house!

I found this view…arresting—a little shade-dappled, but still compelling.

What better antidote to the now-ubiquitous phrase “fiscal cliff” (when, as near as I can tell, no one has an economic flashlight and thunderbolt of problem-solving) than a pair of flowers?

Jon (and his team) made me laugh.
Yes, we watch Jon and Colbert delayed a day, sometimes longer….

I’m a great fan of the aesthetics of graduated colors, and I’m especially charmed when I find such visual transitions courtesy of Ma Nay-churr.

I give a silent head-nod to our veterans, hand over heart.
I did manage to finish Wolf Hall before Book Club…yippee! Need to reread it, though—lots there….

We wandered the park/BotGarden during the time when the sky shifted from sunny to overcast. I tried freezing the Legacy Fountain water with the camera, and have concluded that a tripod (probably) and far more patience (certainly) are necessary to get the shots I was trying for. Still, I had fun.
