DAY BEHIND

I am behind. I did not write yesterday.
But in the morning as the sun came up I looked out my window and saw the light in the fall leaves and went out and photographed. It is hard to get the full impact, but it was stunning. (Not because I was staring into the sun, altho perhaps that had something to do with the headache I had all day.)

This is what I saw when I looked out the window at Dustin/Justin's (not sure-- could be either one) house, or rather, above and behind his house. The contrast is missing because the trees around were still shrouded in heavy dawn, only the tops of the trees had light.

There's not a lot of color choices in the neighborhood. There are a few trees that apparently do not care for yellow raiment. If I knew anything about trees I could tell you why but, lucky you, I know only that they grow, have leaves, then change color and don't have leaves, and that some --like the only two we had-- also have bugs that force you to cut them down.

Looking across the fence in the backyard down the street.

And at Sara's huge pine tree in the front.

 

(Isn't this exciting?) (It really was quite beautiful or I would not inflict it upon you.)

 

This is my favorite. It's a house down and across the next street.

And this is my real favorite: Nigel on his throne in the sunlight.
