Musings

Time to change

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.

New index for autumn-ization?

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….

Melting pumpkins

Is it really the end of October? High of 79°F, of all things. Warm enough to melt squash?

Imagination at work

I’m working hard, inside my head, to create a Halloween costume to go with these dragon fruit. Rrrrrr.

Speculative worlds

Doesn’t this look like it might be a whole universe thinly coating this leaf?

Updating

We became Big Consumers today…only for today…and very Apple-y at that. My 4+ year old watch brought $90 for trade-in, which is darned amazing IMHO. Now, I have a brighter screen (yay! aging eyes, you know), and a more durable battery—I’m told.

Photo with new iPhone. Yup.

A bit of a tremble

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.

Impossible dream

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.

Plant magic

Yes, they were this bright. Love the azaleas, and they bloom over and over in the Deep South…with enough nutrients and moisture.

Planter woes

Am I wrong to guess that this homeowner, who has a pair of planters flanking the walkway leading from the sidewalk to the porch, and both have this crunchy beige “vegetation”…am I wrong 🤪 to think they’re specially planned Halloween decorations? 🤣
