Just a picture

Strange. When the low mood strikes, I find myself getting out the camera more readily. A kind of word-silence descends and my primary mode--auditory--recedes.



Prophetic graffiti:

The graffiti is a bit eerie. The leaves are beautiful. *sigh*

The woods here are so lovely at the moment. I keep meaning to bring a camera with me and take a snapshot.

Autumn is so fleeting. Two hours and a good gusty rainstorm after I took the foliage picture here this afternoon, it was mostly gone. :(

So I went out and bought myself some fluffy slippers and am hunkering down for the winter--also lovely in its way.

Yes. *sigh* The Japanese have their cherry blossom festivals. We have the turning leaves.

The contrast between the word's meaning and the neatly tesselated blocks below feels meaningful, doesn't it?

Dead/dormant branches - colour beyond. Yet another metaphor.

That bit of graffiti really struck me. I wouldn't have seen it--because it's quite dark riding home now--except that I was on an afternoon jaunt on Saturday. I just loved the yellow in the midst of all that concrete. I especially liked the way the black streaks seem to point to it.

The leaves in the second picture were mostly gone not two hours later. I'm sure that's a metaphor for something, too.

I second the above comments on the first photo and that second-! The red really sets off the whole picture.

Thanks! It was a very pretty, very short-lived view out my kitchen window.

I adore that second one!

Thanks!
