Do you remember?

So, do you remember?

Some thoughts on sound

The past few days have brought a few opportunities to edit some sound files. I’ve used Audacity in the past, but it hit me that Adobe’s Audition is part of my Creative Suite subscription. I found it slick and fast. Now I was only trimming the files and boosting the audio. It felt much easier to me. That might be due to my decades of experience in Abode products. This, their UX is somewhat natural.

Next. I want to spend some time exploring balancing sound, cutting out noise and such. It should be fun.

What’s your favorite tool? I lean towards Audacity mainly, if for no other reason, free!

A photo and a poem from the Edmonds Waterfront

A walk through the dark
Moving over the boardwalk
The quiet’s beauty

I enjoyed editing this one. The texture is wonderful, at least to me.

Tonight’s Haiku

Though the air has cooled

These flowers resist autumn

Sunlight’s grasp waning

I took this photo in Edmonds, a small town north of Seattle. I’ve lived most of my life in its orbit. My heart has a dear place for this place.

A Monday Morning Haiku

This Monday morning

My mind is feeling murky

Rain in the darkness

I hope your Monday it’s the start to a productive and satisfying week. 

Autumn’s Approach: Tonight’s #Haiku

With summer’s end here
And the rain’s song calming me
I now seen brown leaves

The past few days have truly felt like autumn. Rainfall, in particular, reinforces that for me. I hold many cold and soggy memories, for that is the lot of Seattle folk.

One last #haiku before I sleep


Dawn’s distance feels far 

Yet its approaching quickly 

Time to embrace sleep 

A Farmers Market #Haiku

Walking this late morn
Past the flowers and produce
Summers end draws near

A suburban life: a #haiku

Yet another day
Where I’m walking on these streets
This suburban life
