An Autumn Day
sunlight from the south
the graceful autumnal air

Fannypacks, Life, Death and Resurrection
Having come of age in the 80s, I spent several key years with the ever-glorious fannypack. I watched its death without concern, much like the supposed demise of disco and leg-warmers.

Through autumn mists
An Autumn Sunday Morning

crisp, cool air awakens me
I reach for my tea
I woke to a lovely autumn morning. The rain holding off until a convenient time opens up possibilities. Yet, I expect to spend most of the day in front of a computer.
