holding back the dawn
grey skies resisting sunlight
grace of rain soaked leaves
It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start.

My interest in photography started back in elementary school, and I studied it all through high-school. The shift from analog/film to digital changed so very much, yet so much remains the same.
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
sunlight climbs mountains
elation and jubilee
a new day is born
Blessed Rain
rain’s grace
clouds hiding the sun’s face
beloved fresh air
Seattle’s rain is most welcome.
Scent of Old Books
scent of old books
espresso machine’s song
hints of jazz piano
Thinking of Beat poets while listening to jazz this hazy, smokey Seattle morning.
Seattle Smoke
With my eyes stinging
And the sun hidden by smoke
I’m praying for rain
The smoke of the west coast is getting tiresome. Now, Seattle is much better off than many parts of the region, so I really can’t complain too much.
We are expecting the air quality to improve over the next few days, which I welcome greatly. I’m really looking forward to unimpeded breathing.
With Autumn Nearing
With autumn nearing
Streetlight flickers on, then off
A few dried leaves fall
Laying bare our fears
Laying bare our fears
Feel the sunlight on our souls
Swaying sunflowers
The bees keep working
Through the intense sun
And air choked with smoke moving
The bees keep working
The air in the greater Seattle has been filled with the smoke of many fires. Carried by the wind miles, a gift to be choked, I guess. The bees seem unperturbed.
Seattle Smoke
in this morning air
destructive rage blowing west
the sepia sky
The featured image is out my front door, trying to capture the smoky haze that’s descended upon Seattle. My lungs hurt a bit, my eyes sting, and I feel for my asthmatic friends and the misery they’re going through.
Tenacious Flowers
tenacious flowers
dancing with the honey bees
as they move skyward
