When I left the condo this morning it was 36 degrees, clear skies and dry so it was a morning to bicycle to the coffee shop. A bright waning crescent moon hung in the southern darkness. The wind was blowing causing flags on campus to stand erect into the eastern sunrise and also made my bedaling tougher. The lovely Winter was my barista this morning and made me a spicy chai to start my day. A beautiful day is taking shape here in Colorado.
“This tells me two fundamental truths: one, that in order to evolve and grow, we must be prepared to face the erosive aspects of life. Two, it’s the weathering that creates the finest landscape of our lives, shaping us and defining us over time.”

There is a knowing within me that I am evolving. The obstacles of life, the weathering, has shaped who I am. And, I would venture to say everything else in the universe. The weathering of my life’s storms is allowing me to experience the inner landscape of my life. Grateful for this time in my life and my inner landscape! Have a wonderful day!!!

It sounds like you’re having a lovely day, and this photo certainly showcases some beautiful colors and tones. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here. It’s in the forties, overcast, with mist and rain, making it feel colder than it actually is. I did manage to walk early this morning before sunrise and before the mist and rain began. A barista named Winter—how wonderfully appropriate!

Good morning, my friend! Yes, we are having some lovely weather and this morning is more of the same. I did notice you were getting some wintery weather. Like you an early morning walk or bicycle ride is a good start to any day. Enjoy your weekend!

I hope the day lived up to its promising start. Love the leaf palette, a beautiful mixture of colors.

Leaves in their erosive state are art in the simplest yet complex form. You said it well by calling it a palette of colors. You should know as you are a painter as well as a photographer. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
