Today was one of those days that started out one way, and drifted to a very different evening weather. Sunny and breezy became overcast and windy. Temperate is becoming cold at this hour, with overnight freeze warnings.
I took the Fitbit for a walk in the late morning, returning as the wind came up and sun became spotty.

I walked a section of the Atlanta Beltline that’s not yet paved (and certainly without trolleys) and admired several pieces of the current display of Beltline art, including this, SkyFish by Kenneth Lock Bridger. According to the sign, Bridger thought the fish would turn together like a school, but I caught them akimbo, like, I dunno, piscine misbehavers.
Is it ironic that the day I explore the Beltline, a fantastic urban development project, the Atlanta Braves organization decides to head for the hills, um, suburbs?
Kudos to my SIL for rocking it on tonight’s The Erick Erickson Show, discussing the implications of the Braves move.

Great light this afternoon, and an assortment of fall flowers. And a few surviving pumpkins….

Did we watch half the Dawgs game…because it was overcast? …because relatives were in the stadium?

We spotted this fungi the other day (it’s one of several of the same type stacked on the side of a tree that otherwise looks healthy), and I went back today to photo it. This section is about 3 inches thick.

Patient Reader: after a long string of mostly plants, I thought I’d shift to the critter kingdom and give you some…variation.
Loving loving loving the 5s camera.

This assortment of utility boxes are on the side of a…utilities building, right on the county line. Adjacent, there’s a small solar panel less than 18 inches on a side attached to an Atlanta Gas Light box with four stainless lines going in/out, each with a on/off handle and a padlock.
The doors are reinforced and the window is blocked and has a mesh over it. Protection!
All this struck me as ironic.

Our lovely next-door neighbors have these in a front bed—an ornamental pepper that starts out black-blue (lower right), and then turns bright red. The leaves range from green to black-blue, but are mostly the latter right now.
As beautiful as they are, I managed to take three crappy photos and this marginally salvageable one…at least by blog-post standards.

Another plant at the ABG with a name I failed to note…these look like gem-clusters along its stem…a conservatory special.
Once again, the time change wreaks havoc on my biorhythms (and I suspect, algorithms).

I would have sworn this is a Peperomia, so I didn’t even look for a sign. Checking images on the web, hmm, probably not Peperomia…live and learn?
