Musings

I can’t figure an angle on this photo, today’s weather and news, and what I have read lately that doesn’t seem trite. So, I beg off with a simple goodnight.

Lucky me. The light was so right on these nandina berries this afternoon.

Cut flowers are usually shipped miles, often by air. Also, they are often irrigated, including if grown in a hot-house (or similar). Thus, cut flowers are not-green green…and essentially represent a transfer of water from one part of the world to another…where they are thrown out, or sometimes composted (probably with chemicals (herbicides?) on them).

We had rain off and on all day, and I looked out into the gloom at one point, and a sprig of a 5 foot tree in the understory sported bright yellow leaves, such survivors.

I found out today that coral and jade are the 35th wedding anniversary materials.

Can you tell these are ginkgo leaves? They are, and they’ve dropped…one of those mysteries in the plant world is that they fall at the same time. BTW, that renegade garnet leaf on the left is from a maple.

I decree: the lacy maple leaves are electrifying the sunshine.

On another street, I found a fallen sweet gum ball en route to becoming duff.

I went out for a quick walk late afternoon and found these dogwood leaves posing in the brilliant sunshine.

I do love it when the camellias emerge in the cold season…or the kind of cold season we get here in ATL.

Nothing quite looks like a rambutan…with those aesthetic spinterns in a variety of greenish and rosy hues.

With a cold snap on its way, I sought flowers during my walk in the bright sunshine today. It’s 22°F colder now than when I walked. No lie.
