Musings

Dry wash

I saw this rain-shower aftermath and thought: ginkgo dry wash. Still think that (even though other leaves are mixed in).

Camera magic

To my eyes, it was far darker than this—after all, it was 6:30am, and sunrise didn’t happen (technically) much later, until 7:19am. My eye keeps being drawn to the contrail beautifully framed in the tree-opening.

Pink roses

We’re just a month before the shortest day of the year, and the sun angle now catches this stained glass window, which is in an interior stairwell. Is that a strange location?

Brown shades

I stretched my legs in the big park this morning, and Lake Clara Meer was a fine reflector. Note the brown shades that are typical of the leaves of Atlanta’s oak-dominant canopy trees.

Two-act play

Act One: young man photographing young woman. Aww.

A half-hour later…unexpected Act Two: switcheroo!—young woman photographing young man, with considerably more posing instruction.

And a mystery man at the tripod. BTW, what’s the tripod for in this play? And that second man? Or maybe there’re plans for a movie, too? Questions abound.

Note that although there are many ginkgo leaves on the ground, there are even more on the trees.

Theme: down

The leaves are down across our lawn, making the equivalent of a (down) duvet keeping the ground from freezing as the temps head for brrrrrr. However, we’re not expecting the White Stuff that’s been falling in the Midwest and even in the mountains down here.

Too forced and artificial?

Change (visual)

Light games

Sometimes, sometimes, the product of the algorithms in the phone-camera matches my aesthetics.

Note how there’s both green grass and autumnal golden fallen leaves.

Morning moments

First, I saw the moon looming over a colorful whats-it tree.

Later/Soon, I spotted ground fog in a park-let.

…all with sunshine, and before 8:15am.

My way

I call this night light, even though it’s more accurate to say dusk light.

Cropping magic

Almost…the bench was _almost_ lit by a ray of sunshine…but it just seems that way.
