I wanted to go for a walk on Wednesday. The weather wasn't cooperative, being mid-40s and mostly cloudy and really, really windy. I decided to try anyway.
It was beautiful.
In a chilly way.
There was beauty to be found.
The sun even peeked out.
But I gave up after 15 minutes. I didn't have a hat with me, and I couldn't feel my ears.
This morning, the view out my window was more like this:
So I tried again. Temps around 60 helped: the moving air was more a strong breeze, less a howling wind.
And doesn't sun make such a difference?
I like this guy even more in sunshine.
I didn't need my hat, or mittens, or even the scarf.
It was the pretty part of fall, where Wednesday was the nasty, look-what's-coming part.
I liked today better.
You really do take the nicest photos. I remember when I was ("at leisure", "between engagements") unemployed. Having the time to do what I wanted was unique and appreciated. I'm so looking forward to retirement but there are too many years between then and now!
