Musings

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.

We received our first rain with a chance of soaking in since Helene. Yay. It began last night and into the morning, and then the afternoon was merely overcast and damp.

One month ago I found this beauty on the beach. It’s prettier than the leaves we raked today, so I decided to reach back for a pretty. You can imagine the leaves (none of them from maple trees).

This strawberry somehow went rogue on the way to the compost. Pretty, eh? Or: pretty interesting?

Our outdoor furniture is catching the down-raining leaves.
