A crack in the door
Back to discovering images for the garden project. Took this one this morning, peering into the locked garage. The creaky garage always reveals the best photos.

The architecture of the trees
Trees drop their leaves and suddenly we see the beauty of their magnificent limbs. In the woods, everything is changing so quickly. A freeze last night, then drizzling rain all day today. By Friday, the colors of autumn will be at their peak.

Walking in Thatcher Woods on a Sunday in Autumn
It was cold and overcast on today, but the leaves were changing so we decided to take the new dog (of three months) to Thatcher Woods. We weren't disappointed. The leaves are just beginning to change, the yellows just ripening to ochre, a tinge of red on the tips of some of the oak leaves. Willy absolutely loved it. New smells, rotting smells, mud and leaf mold. I still don't have a pumpkin so I'm going out this afternoon to pick one up along with a mum, if I can find it, for the front porch. The summer flowers are drooping terribly and I should clean out the pots on the front porch.
I feel like I've been stuck lately, getting a bunch of dental work finished, finishing physical therapy for some tendonitis, but I haven't felt inspired to do any photo stuff lately. Hopefully, this week it will come, along with the ripening of autumn.

Missing the beach in early October
We've been back from the lake for many weeks, but for some reason, now that the leaves are just beginning to change, I'm yearning to go back. Just pack up my camera and spend a whole day just shooting pics--the farms and meadows and the lake. Discover how the shadows have changed in just a few weeks.
