Walking in the night
Street lights serenading me
Foot steps upon dreams

Scent of Old Books

I spent many hours of my mid-twenties wandering Seattle’s bookstores and coffee shops. Fond, fond memories. Though a challenging time, mainly financial, I enjoyed that time. Traveling into Seattle became more and more challenging over the years since I returned to Lynnwood. It looks dramatically different, and I haven’t been down since the pandemic started. Puget Sound’s north end holds its charms, too. Just different ones. Evolutions, I guess.

Autumn diffusing the dawn
Delightful silence

Under the cool autumn breeze

I resist waking

A lovely autumn morning in Seattle. Blue skies, mostly white clouds, though there are a few darker ones. The demands of my day finally rouse me. My tea welcomes me back to life.

The First Day Of Autumn

It’s a classic Seattle autumn morning. One that I delight in. I hope your autumn is off to a good start. 

Blessed Rain

Seattle’s rain is most welcome.

As Autumn Nears, I Remember Spring

Memories of spring
Rain rippling in puddles
Thinking of sweaters

Today filled with rain, cleansing Seattle’s air of the lingering smoke. Very, very welcome indeed.

Just a few days until autumn. Though I look forward to sweater weather, I dread the greater resistance to spending time outside. Something to overcome.
