Shall we ponder the contrasts between the angles and the shapes they outline, and the organic shapes of the twigs through the glass?

I swear, this sky shot is not out of focus. The clouds were just that indistinct, plus oddly lit.

Light drama.

Temperature drama.
Prediction drama: tomorrow morning there may be snow SOUTH of us (uncharacteristically, that south part). The on-air meteorologist warned that Atlantans will have to drive on the order of three hours south to get into the (probable) snow zone. And, I’m betting it’ll all be melted by, perhaps, 3pm.

This houseplant perseveres, despite living outside for most of the summer. It is definitely inside tonight (and lately), as the temps will be wicked cold tonight.
Speaking of persevering, I was going to write about this yesterday, and forgot. My AppleWatch gives me a monthly goal, which changes every month, although the themes repeat. Often they require 14 days of doing something during the month, which means only weekends are not enough. This month, I have to get (earn in Apple-lingo) at least 96 “exercise minutes” on 14 days. Yesterday, I had 11, which is good for half the month. Today I have 12, so I’m well on my way to getting a fine symbolic Apple-attaboy.

We had an eerie defocused pre-dawn, then things cleared and I moved leaves around in sunshine. Now, the wind’s kicking up, and the first of two waves of cold-cold is coming in.

Nice morning color…it doesn’t last long. I’m always happy to catch it, and not miss it ’cause I’m making coffee or something.

I got a chance to look at Saturday’s trunk growth more closely. I’m still intrigued. [Just so you know, I’ll be moving on after this.]

I stepped out to catch the dawn color, and bonus: the moon!

Tree to self a year or so ago, in a moody rumble: No one walking by on that sidewalk looks up at my green mop and crowning glory…what to do? Aha, I’ll send sprouts out of my bark at eye level.

I looked at these roses and thought pretty!, as I enjoyed the ombré color graduation. Then, I looked closer and thought, ick!, as I realized they were past their prime and a bit withered.
That’s kinda like today, which began with light overcast that became heavier all day. Finally, rain began somewhere around 6pm initiating full murkiness.
