Saturday: leaves in light

[OT from cottage renovations]

the sun came out and with a light breeze things started to get just a bit less soggy.  extended puttering, more of a mental health measure than anything else, kept me from getting out until the light was somewhat more faded than usual.

the Circle, at 2nd Avenue

these leaves aren't going to last a great deal longer but they are catching the light and emitting a soft glow that this image doesn't adequately convey.

I'm starting to wonder whether these blossoms have decided to go to a year-round schedule.

is it just me, or don't these two look like hummingbirds?  they also resemble an exotic species of fish or a certain aircraft




October is apple season around here.  these are great deal smaller (not to mention less edible to our species) than most but they are participating in full.

Malus coronaria


this redbud's leaves were following the example of the paw paw up on the Circle.

across the way, looking up one sees an intricate tracery of delicate details with soft lighting and colours high above as a background.

with its jester's crown it's hard to take this rose hip seriously.  like the morning glory blossoms above it is also strongly evocative

those morning glories DO look like hummingbirds!
