Musings

Short term, it’s not a good sign to have this crew digging a deep hole in your neighborhood. Watershed management; I take that as a synonym for several things including sewage. I saw two guys in uniforms door-knocking and peering in the window at a night club across the street. Not likely for there to be anyone there at 1:50 in the afternoon, when the door doesn’t open until something like 7:30pm. A little, teeny-tiny story…. Turns out that whatever the interruption was, it didn’t extend the several blocks to our house. Whew.

Another bit of autumn: ornamental grass in seed.

Hallowed ground: leaves downed by wind/precip. I see sweet gum and tulip poplar donations.

Hallowed flora: mushrooms burgeoning with autumn moisture. Mushrooms always seemed to me to be plants and not-plants, as in not-green plants, and therefore suspect. Bimodal categories are so inflexible.

I mostly walked between more-rain, and trudged through the all-day flavor of less-rain.

Slight logo overkill plus fine wax coverage.

“Leaves of three, let it be.” But, no, not that species this time. Say: kooood-zoooo.

Entrance to the underworld? [Caves, etc., being a portal to the underworld is relatively common in mythologies around the world. BTW.]

As the sun emerged, fogginess materialized. And dew.

In the later sunshine, evidence of the seasons changing: seeds are coming.

Holiday fun: a modern spider tickles a see-ment lion. Boo!

See: blazing sunshine! Or: autumnal afternoon blazing sunshine?

We walked as far as we could north along the BeltLine. Seems like it’s usually “bridge closed,” but here it’s “after-bridge closed.”

Returning to the south into Piedmont Park, this big cooling fountain was going, although it wasn’t that hot.

Overhead: gorgeous blue, blue sky.

Leaf duo occupying park bench…I guess because people find it too damp?

Quick! [Toe instruction.]

Leaves are autumn-ing. Or green.

Seasonal ornament of the skeleton-ghost variety.

Decoration exuberance abounds in our neighborhood.

Meanwhile…the water was flowing (aka falling water).

And the sand-churners were practicing.

All photos with the widest lens (aka “ultra wide”); only the first did I alter the aspect ratio.

Our basil’s gone wild.

Black! flamingos. With scary red eyes!
