Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
with my morning tea
the gentlest of breezes
sunlight through the clouds
I love calm mornings. Today, Seattle’s weather seems to be pivoting from rain to partially cloudy. Blue skies punctuated with white clouds. Summer’s heat abated, whether temporarily or for the rest of the year is uncertain, but I’ll take the respite.
orange and red leaves
as i gaze out my window
glories of autumn
The maple just outside my office window already shows autumn colors. Of course, September approaches quickly. Less than a week (Sunday) brings the new month. As tempting as it might be to make some reference to the passing of time, it doesn’t feel very creative.
after the rainfall
sunlight moves from behind clouds
summer reaches far
evening light descends
boisterous colors emerge
glory of flowers
in the early morn
long before the birds arise
listening for grace
gentle honeybee
dancing upon the petals
moments of summer
Saw this flower with the honey bee on my way out to my car. One of the great joys of summer.
with hints of summer
watching the vigor of bees
as the springtime fades
This photo was taken in my front yard. The bees were quite taken with these flowers. This was shot with my Samsung S22.
I’m quite pleased with the results I get with this phone. It’s been amazing.
It’s feeling like summer here, just north of Seattle. It’s wonderful. But I’m right at the point of shifting from complaining about the cold to complaining about the heat. The comfortable temperature range for Seattle’s is between 65 & 75.
I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! May it exceed your expectations.
glorious red drops
resting against the blue sky
sunlight after rain
a burst of sunlight
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain
while the raindrops fall
this day of rest progresses
into the night’s grace
Rain filled this day, and my energy level was, well, absent. But I clearly needed rest. So, I rested. A gift to myself, I guess.
