Musings

Sometimes, with outdoor light, a moment makes all the difference. See the silver limning? That was a particular moment’s magic.

Sometimes, I am annoyed that wide angle comes with keystoning. BTW, look at the cloud shape variation!

We walked around the corner to a coffee shop and I had an artistic matcha latte…

…sitting in the sunshine by the sidewalk under autumn leaves.

Sometimes stained glass can function as a filter, and make already beautiful light even more gorgeous. [Do I use the word gorgeous too often?]

I’m assuming the hardware contributes, but I suspect it’s the software in my phone-cam that makes the night sky look like this—stars! How does it capture starlight so clearly?

I’m thinking about the definition of democracy…then considering the destabilizing social discontent, the repeated unapologetic lying by squadrons of elected officials, and the rampant internet propagandizing…and I conclude that I don’t know where we’re going as a nation. Not that I have any political science chops or anything. 🤣

Regarding the title, I’m not sure that’s a daisy, and not a mum or an aster or some other botanical supporter of bumblebees.

We strolled Piedmont Park this morning before the fog cleared. The actual old RR to the right is still in use, as the fancy new path for the BeltLine is not yet officially open, although it looks ready for traffic.

There’s the east lobe of Lake Clara Meer looking all placid and still a tiny bit obscured.

The rest of the day turned out rather weather-normal.

The leaf fall rate really popped up today…with more and more coming down as the day went on. I propose a metric for that….

The wind fought me, and made this three-second exposure a bit blurry, especially on the right. This fits the Sunday pace of life, I think.

My spidee sense says a time change looms, and this lovely evening light will be sliding back…and our dark mornings will be lighter…that’s the flip side…. Impossibly, I’d like more light at both ends of the day.
