sometimes the bundles

yield quirky results

shadows and wraiths on paper

and cloths

layers of grays

my camera wouldn't read the pale greens

or peaches

or distinct

rusty shapes on open weave.

and i just set the thing down and get back to work.

sigh.

black eyed susans cheer me up

especially after a three hour work meeting

from which i returned with a hollering headache.

this morning there are amazing gold lights

deep within backyard maples.

sunlight playing games.

not autumn.

not yet.
