2020.10.24: anticipation

already it’s dark
week before DST ends –
therapists on call

2020.10.23: pineapple

fragrantly wafting
pungent scent of full ripeness
sweet taste of childhood

2020.10.22: slanted

the sun going down
changing the angles of light
moving through the woods

PS: Not sure what the photographic anomaly is in the lower left corner but decided not to crop it out of the photo. What do you think?

2020.10.21: farewell

without much fanfare
our seasonal friends are gone
shadows grow longer

Author’s Note: This photograph was taken on September 22, the Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. It was the last time I sighted a hummingbird this year. See you next spring, hummers.

deer season
I shoot my first buck
with an iPhone

This was a very fortuitous find as there was a 24-hr endurance trail bike race at this park where we walk. We showed up for our weekly walk as they were packing up to leave. Around the back side between a residential addition and the park, we happened upon this guy – waiting patiently for the invaders to leave his territory. On a personal note this is the first time I’ve seen a buck at this park. His harem and progeny abound so we knew he had to be around somewhere. Well here he is!
