Musings

Well, now. Muddle along. That’s a big thing. And worth celebrating. Moss accumulates, yet sunshine arrives. One foot in front of the other; that’s what moving forward looks like.

I’ve been aware of the changing day length, as it does this time of year. I haven’t noticed as much the shift in the sun angle. And…tah-dah! here it is!

Loaded cone flower, weighted with double bees.

Delicate and fine-scented ginger: mmmmm.

That title might mean any of many things. What I thought about today was that at some point this season, I’ll be switching from preferring to walk in the shade (pant pant), to being happy to walk in the sun (oh so cool).

Never noticed a hibiscus bloom that looked quite like that.

Headed off in a direction I haven’t been visiting lately and found this miniature scenario. I especially like the mushrooms and the flower on top of the birdhouse.

Zeta brought the tree down. Eta brought the leaves down.

Zeta was recently; Eta was yesterday and the day before.

However, there are still many green and greenish leaves on the trees, although I heard the weather gal say this morning that we’re at peak color. Perhaps Greek peak.

Camelot is gone. It is of course a myth, and the name represents exceptional times, in the best sense.

If we had some Camelot-like elements to our society enduring after JFK, they’re gone now. A high-ranking official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency says we had the “most secure” election in US history. And yet…yet…yet….

How to trace modern fads in landscape plants? Acer palmatum entered my consciousness long after childhood. I don’t know if I missed it and it was all around me, or if it’s become more common in the last three decades or so. Tremendous variation in leaf shapes, seems to me. I prefer the lacier ones, like this. Now, ivy, as in the background—that I remember from way back, especially adorning buildings.
