More Fall Color.....

Quilts of color in every direction.
More leaves on the ground too.
Fun to kick thru the leaf piles.
Fall Color everywhere.
Still magic.

Fall Color........

Once the leaves started to change color,
it quickly became a cascade of transformation.
Almost too rapidly, every tree was awash in
new color tones. And, just as fast,
the leaves started to fall. A few at first,
then in the breeze, numerous flakes in the wind.
Soon the ground would be covered
and the tree limbs bare. And snow ....
well, just for now, it was color, everywhere.
Magic.

Marginal(ly) (a)way......

The caravan stopped briefly at Ogunquit, ME.
Not as crowded this time of year.
And plenty of room for the modest east coast surfing.
And grand strolling on the Marginal Way
The late season garden bloomers
were an enjoyable surprise, too.
Just talk to the paw.

Deja Moo......

Meeting cows in the woods. A real surprise!
Not what we were expecting to encounter.
And not exactly a bear. Ursine's aren't the same family.
Still, almost a trilogy.
Lions and tigers and cows. Oh my!!!
Recall Lions in the grass from last May?
And Tigers in the brush last month?
Now cows in the woods!!!. Our own yellow brick road.

Tigers in the brush......

Lily orange surprises. In hard to reach places.
Wild, blooming, and never easy to catch.
Now the trilogy is almost complete.
Remember 'Lions in the grass' from last May?
Now all we need are bears.
Then we'll have our yellow brick road.

Rosebud.....

She asked, "If you could have found out
what Rosebud meant, I bet that would have
explained everything"
Thompson replied, "No, I don't think so; no.
Mr. Kane was a man who got everything he
wanted and then lost it. Maybe Rosebud was
something he couldn't get, or something he lost.
Anyway, it wouldn't have explained anything...
I don't think any word can explain a man's life.
No, I guess Rosebud is just a...
piece in a jigsaw puzzle... a missing piece.

The view from (just north of) Bayonne.....

Lower Manhattan, from just north of Bayonne, NJ.
Mid-summer, 2008.
A little hazy & hot but comfortable.
Almost to Battery Park
Liberty in the far distance.
People everywhere.
Lots of cats, too
