Autumn has fully arrived in Seattle. Rain and mist dominate the day. For me, this is calming. This is beautiful.

It’s been a busy week. I started fall quarter and ended up with a stomach bug. Those two items sucked up the majority of my time. I’ll have more updates shortly.
I hope everyone of you is well and that you’re feeling refreshed and re-energized.

Today’s Haiku: Bursts of Color
footsteps on the path bursts of color reach my eye underneath the leaves
Saw these on my walk yesterday. They were striking, standing out solidly in the mass of green.
I finished up Summer quarter on my journey to finish my ATA in Web Development. I will write some about that soon. Six quarters complete and three quarters left. Now, what to do afterwards? So much opportunity, so many choices, thus, so many things to say “no” to. That’s my pain.
A Cloudy Summer’s Day

I took this photo this morning after hearing of the possibility of rain. Haven’t seen any yet.
I decided to experiment with animated text. This was created with Canva. What do you think?
Gazing to the west

with the sun descending low
as the air's cooling
Looking to the west as I walk through this park. Sunlight drifts through the trees. Summer in the north bringing a steep angle to the light. Richly beautiful. To me, at least.
Coffee Shop Vibes

respites from the coldest rain
such sanctuary
I took this photo at Everett’s Narrative Coffee. The ambiance delights me. With its brick walls, I return to many cold, wet days from when I lived downtown Seattle. Books, pastries, coffee; the elements of classic elegance.
Just a little editing in Photoshop to capture the mood. A little blur for a vignette, a bit of color balancing, et viola!
