Musings

Range, variation

This morning was so different from yesterday. This was 9:37am…no multi-color dawn today, just cloud cover. Nothing wrong with that in the greater scheme of things, so we’ll just accept this for comparative data.

Dawn glows

7:04am beauty.

7:10am in the opposite direction.

Quotidian transitions

The dawn color emphasized that I left wet-stuff on the line overnight. Made no difference, I’m sure.

Dried ferns…on the way to composting.

Evening reflection….

Old and new

I’m offering another lovely morning wide shot of the lake.

Okay, here’s something new for this blahg. It’s a Harley-Davidson Freewheeler (aka three-wheeler) with a fairing with a screen and an add-on phone mount and short-but-long-enough charging cable. All these options surprised me; I think of Harleys as two-wheelers. I’m sooooo out of date.

LS/EA

I’m not quite sure how to classify any given moment in the transition from late summer to early autumn (LS/EA). Clearly, this isn’t mid-summer vegetation, and it’s not full on autumn, either. The yellow of the milkweed leaves and the brown of some of the grasses are the give-away to the transition from summer-green.

Here’s another angle, with still-proud asparagus vegetation and a fine apple tree with some laden branches. Here, the biggest give-away is the color in the top of the maple, left of center.

…and green

I caught sight of this leaf display out of the corner of my eye and strolled over to see if on closer inspection I still thought it is the visual definition of wrinkly. Yup.

Details

Late morning, we drove north toward the moon.

Late afternoon, I found this very-orange canna lily. Little did I know that the originals are native to tropical New World areas.

Hello, September

I’m trying to decide if this prismatic display has an autumnal twinge.

Stone-baked

We had fun, hippie pizza tonight, with fancy new box graphics. The thematically matching mushroom hat and orb are extra-special.

Western sky

Twilight and sunset glow…the wrong part of the sky for me to see stars and about forty-five minutes before last night’s star picture….
