Musings

I’ve been reading articles about this and that, including various Roman villas, towns, and necropolises in Iberia…which reminded me of our trip to Iberia early this year.

Here’s a reconstructed porticoed ambulacrum (one corner) that would have surrounded a forum square (depression, left foreground). This is the southwest corner of the Roman forum at Empúries, in far northeast Spain. There was a major trading city here under the Greeks, later built much larger by the Romans.

Fine weather today. Not meaning to rub it in if you have had stressful weather, but I’m much happier with our high of 66°F.

Ooops. Forgot this poor plant gifted to me months ago. It’s been on its own mostly since. It’s inside now.

This one, on the other hand, is right out in the midst of the Snap, surviving nicely (so far).

The leaves are down across our lawn, making the equivalent of a (down) duvet keeping the ground from freezing as the temps head for brrrrrr. However, we’re not expecting the White Stuff that’s been falling in the Midwest and even in the mountains down here.

Too forced and artificial?

Note how there’s both green grass and autumnal golden fallen leaves.

First, I saw the moon looming over a colorful whats-it tree.

Later/Soon, I spotted ground fog in a park-let.

…all with sunshine, and before 8:15am.

This is not my first photo of this water tank posted in these cyber-hinterlands. I know tanks’re ubiquitous in the NYC skyline, but not-so-much in this southern outpost. Still, it makes a good architectural image.

As near as I can tell, the suitcase is more-or-less permanantly installed on that rack.

Boy-o-boy have we had clear and brilliant moon-lit nights lately. I hear we’re headed for a cold snap next week, as in below freezing. Yikes.

I call this night light, even though it’s more accurate to say dusk light.
