Hi.

I have to get some "real" work done today...which means I should walk away from the computer now, and make a list of what needs doing.

But, I find these colorful leaves so spectacular, and I want to share them. They make such a contrast to the rest of last night's photographs, and yet they were taken minutes apart.

It depended on which tree I was standing under, and whether I was looking up or down. A small matter of location and perspective.

It's blue-sky sunny today, and there are bright strokes of sunlight across the park. I look forward to getting out there with my Miss A. in a little while.

But first, seriously, that list.

Wishing you all a good Monday. Thanks for reading.

After the excitement of last night, we had a very slow, simple, gentle day. I slept a lot during daylight, having slept little at night.

Tim gardened, a little. Moving around compost to make room for the leaves, soon to come.

I read, in bed. For myself, Edible Brooklyn, and a stack of The New Yorker, delivered by Tim's mom.
And to Anna. Do you know Shirley Hughes? The Alfie stories? Dogger? So good. I feel that even Anna is moving on from them a bit, but I'm not over them yet.

I baked some more bread, to bring across the street at dinnertime.
I moved some laundry around, not really accomplishing all that much.
Perfect.

Finally, I walked outside with my camera, on the way to pay last nights' sitter. Even with boots and socks on, I was still chilled right through by the time I made it over the creek and across the park.

I looked up and took these pictures. I looked down and took some more. Then, I dropped my lens cap through the sewer grate.

I needed to get outside, look around, get chilled. Make a mistake. Take some pictures.

I'm ready to move into the new week. I hope you are ready, too. For whatever awaits us all, around the next bend.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
