One day, I will move from this house in Somerville with its many windows. I will no longer be able to climb its spiral staircase to the top floor and from there to peer out the old window at the towering oak. I will no longer be able to train my camera up through that tree’s branches into the sky. But that day has not yet come. So on this bright September morn, I am grateful for this window, this oak and the blue of the sky beyond. Have a good day, folks.

… I do see nebula …
… and supernovas …
… and all sorts of stellar events …
… all within a single leaf, found on the ground yesterday, as I walked home.
And as I carried that single leaf in one hand and all of my groceries in the other hand, I had to chuckle because I was reminded of how my parents worried when I went out walking by myself. They thought that my head would be lost in the clouds. How right they were. Anyway … have a good day, folks. 😉
and when I back up just a bit …

the vacant lot is now a garden

For the past few years, through the rippled glass, I have most often photographed a nearby vacant lot where dandelions would grow rampant.
But in time all things change.
In late spring, a new neighbor moved in and he has turned the field into a garden.
It is quite lush with green mounds of this, green hills of that and …
probably green peas spiraling up a new terrace made of string.
When the wind blows just right, I can catch a glimpse of gold squash blossoms.
