Musings

Leaf-time

This is the same view/trees as the three-days ago photo. So much more golden. So much closer to winter (spelled wintrer first wry-try…).

Metamorphosis

The leaves…they are turning and dropping….

Hypothesizing…

Fake lake. Also called a pool. But a pool also can have non-chlorinated flowing water, and thus be real, as in natural, and not human-made. Or created by beaver damming….

In the dichotomy, you’d think this is a real lake. But, no…well, and yes. It’s dammed up, so some level of flowing. But, I think there was a marsh of sorts here in this little basin, which needs pumps and aeration to keep it from clogging back up into being a marsh again. It seems.

Not lilac

It’s aster season, asters and mums, no?

Solar dazzler

Not enjoying this hot spell; yet, the light is inspiring.

Layers

Tonight’s book club hostess lives in an apartment complex that has a pool, hence this photo. It’s also pertinent to the book, which had many what you could call reflections (Ann Patchett’s “Whistler,” 2026)—recommended.

IMHO

I looked straight up at 7pm, so just before official sundown at 7:10pm, and I think the new-cam captures more detail.

Unexpected in white

Clouds low

In Kentucky, I-75 traverses Appalachian-high mountains, and occasionally clouds sit low. We rarely see this given the timing of our trips, but today we did. Just saying.

GA cherries

In Georgia, we rarely stop at a rest area when homebound, but, we did today. And discovered blooming cherries. MaNachur welcoming us?

Last morning, plus one

This morning was about the mist/groundfog.

It rose from the lake.

And was lit by rays in the orchard.

It faded in the field, an hour and a half after the first photo.

Yet was still rising off the lake, but only to the right.

Here’s the plus one, The Bridge outlined with multicolored lights.

Views, leaves

Sun glow (wide).

Seven minutes later and not wide. I especially like the tiny wave-swells.

In the afternoon, I got some zone 5 activity by raking leaves. I didn’t cart them away, just raked them into the adjacent long grass. [Efficient.]
