Musings

I try to empty my brain and just be in the moment (easier said/typed than done) when I’m out for a neighborhood walk. It’s rejuvenating.

Then some brilliant red leaf-light or similar penetrates my perception brain and I surface to take in something other than my personal ohhhhmmmmmm…and today, in that surfacing, I found two dazzling, back-lit leaves.

Well, now. Muddle along. That’s a big thing. And worth celebrating. Moss accumulates, yet sunshine arrives. One foot in front of the other; that’s what moving forward looks like.

I’ve been aware of the changing day length, as it does this time of year. I haven’t noticed as much the shift in the sun angle. And…tah-dah! here it is!

Loaded cone flower, weighted with double bees.

Delicate and fine-scented ginger: mmmmm.

That title might mean any of many things. What I thought about today was that at some point this season, I’ll be switching from preferring to walk in the shade (pant pant), to being happy to walk in the sun (oh so cool).

Never noticed a hibiscus bloom that looked quite like that.

Mum bee.

Leaves: real and reflected.

Headed off in a direction I haven’t been visiting lately and found this miniature scenario. I especially like the mushrooms and the flower on top of the birdhouse.

Zeta brought the tree down. Eta brought the leaves down.

Zeta was recently; Eta was yesterday and the day before.

However, there are still many green and greenish leaves on the trees, although I heard the weather gal say this morning that we’re at peak color. Perhaps Greek peak.

Camelot is gone. It is of course a myth, and the name represents exceptional times, in the best sense.

If we had some Camelot-like elements to our society enduring after JFK, they’re gone now. A high-ranking official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency says we had the “most secure” election in US history. And yet…yet…yet….
