In the spotlight

Most of the things that we notice, we notice in passing, on our way to something else; then, every so often, something gives us reason to pause. Something catches our eye or draws our attention, and we’re drawn for a moment to ponder or to reflect on that which awakened us in this way.

It’s a cool morning, a feeling of fall. The leaves are changing colors and the trees are releasing these leaves to move onto their next stage of life. You can’t help but notice and pause as the changes take place. As a dude with a camera I’m not sure I always pause to ponder and reflect but gravitate to checking out the light and composition. 😊 However, I like to think that’s changing.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    It’s to be one of the hotter days here today with a feels-like temperature approaching or just over triple digits. I’m so ready for fall and am glad you’re getting to experience a little of it. I’m not a hot weather person in the least, so this hotter climate change business probably doesn’t speak well for me in the future. It kind of makes me appreciate being a senior. ~wink~

      I’m a “fall guy” also! I sleep much better through the night and wake up more refreshed than in July/August, ready to take on the world. Well,not really. Hope you find a cool spot today with shade.
