I was recently away for almost two weeks, with spotty internet access, yet managed to post nearly every day. Now that I am here at home with all the amenities, I can’t seem to post with any regularity at all. I have no excuse except that I can’t seem to get out of my own way. I hope to soon be back to normal…whatever that is. I took this while waiting at a red light on 14th St. in Washington, DC. Had I been stopped one light sooner, I would’ve captured an unobstructed Washington Monument.

I couldn’t decide on today’s photo. Nothing felt right…not the acorn in a stream of sunlight on the forest floor nor delightful Lucy on a summer day with her muzzle buried in the sand. So, with just minutes left in the day, I’m going with this one. It resonates. A little angsty about an upcoming visit with family, this will be the first time in my life that my dad won’t be there…the first time in months that I may, again, face contention. And snow is coming—a pittance compared to the mess that is plaguing other parts of the country—but still unwelcome. So, I’m going to brush the uneasiness aside and strive to put my mind at peace, because there is no good reason to not do either.

Almost like a Silent Sunday, though it’s not Sunday, and I’m not silent. Silent Saturday? Too late, I’ve already yakked on for too long. Lucy suggests I get on with it and post already. She’s waiting for her walk…possibly here.

This acorn caught my eye as I was climbing a steep hill in our heavily wooded Mason District Park. Everything on the ground before me—leaves, branches, soil and seeds—was dry and brown, except for this one acorn. Its striking colors leapt out at me from the drab surroundings, and I almost passed it by, but gave it a second thought and returned for a shot. It just happens that an acorn seed that has a yellow, brown or black body, as well as a loose cap, is ripe and can be easily planted to grow one’s own oak. Read Growing Oaks from Acorns if you’re interested.
Happy Autumnal Equinox!
