Pre-dawn in Sheepshead Cove
Brooding sky, golden leaves
The colors and textures!
Memories of days like this see me through winter
Thistles, with the ruins of Java House upper right
Full arch rainbow reflected on glassy water
67/49, rain, W10
Pattering rain blue misty morning, fall leaves glowing gold. Warm enough to have the hatch boards out and be that much closer to nature. Geese. Steaming mugs of coffee. Oatmeal with apples, raisins, cinnamon, and pecans, served with a dollop of creamy yogurt. Lazing about, reading, practicing ukelele. After lunch, we plunked Agility in the water and Dobbs rowed us to shore. A gentle rain continued to fall, but we got only mildly damp as we walked the trails. The leaves were spectacular! Then, to top it all off, a full arch rainbow reflected on glass-calm water.
