Seattle’s signs of autumn
leaves starting to change
poetry, prose, and photography

rain-laden dark clouds
Seattle’s signs of autumn
leaves starting to change

the bees speak in code
can we hope to understand
secrets of petals?
Today’s Word of the Day Challenge: Elation
sunlight climbs mountains
elation and jubilee
a new day is born

rain’s grace
clouds hiding the sun’s face
beloved fresh air
Seattle’s rain is most welcome.

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.

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.
