Musings

Take a peek

Windows are pretty amazing. And relatively modern. Glad I don’t live, at least part of the day, in a window-less structure with dried mud walls. Anyway, glass…so good.

Drifting yellow

Can you tell these are ginkgo leaves? They are, and they’ve dropped…one of those mysteries in the plant world is that they fall at the same time. BTW, that renegade garnet leaf on the left is from a maple.

Autumn organics

I decree: the lacy maple leaves are electrifying the sunshine.

On another street, I found a fallen sweet gum ball en route to becoming duff.

Whew

It turns out I sometimes (often?) make a trap for myself. You see, I select a photo and get it ready to post, then set it aside to wait for words, an idea…that part. Then, I can forget I need to actually do the post…and whoops, like tonight, I zipped back downstairs to find words and make it happen. Goodnight!

Ain’t no brain rot

Look at them branches! What a nest of angles!

Fudged reality

I like this hazy reality, achieved by shooting/looking through a dirty window, and also I was enjoying a lovely albeit chilly dawn a-breaking.

Don’t linger!

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

Step on it!

Two possible interpretations: 1) it’s a stepping stone; or 2) it’s almost 2025, just one more month to go, and let’s hurry.

Clearly, I’m no comedy writer.

Lucky me

I went out for a quick walk late afternoon and found these dogwood leaves posing in the brilliant sunshine.

Kitty n bow-tie

A cat and her toys; she didn’t play with any of them while we were there.
