I am enjoying the first movements in the transition to Fall.

Very impressive. It would be a treat to be in Barcelona to see the completed Basilica in person.

Amusing timeline synchronicity.

Glorious morning after a spell of dreary Winter weather. Were I able, I would bottle this morning, and sip from it in the rain predicted for next week.

No prayers for November to linger longer...
A trail leading through bare saplings and green grass.Yellow leaves, river bank, still water, and the far shore all beneath a gray sky.Fallen leaves in the understory at the edge of a river.A tree full of Autumn leaves on a cloudy day.

The new job provides some odd moments, like when I stumble onto a pile of spare arms while performing daily inspections.

Summer is delightful, but Fall is my favorite. The transition between the two seasons is divine.

No better way to start the weekend than with a workout on the Republic FC pitch. Looking forward to the match tonight. I have earned a beer, for sure. Thank you @sacrepublicfc.com and sponsors for the Republic FC Fit event, it was super cool.

I am intoxicated by flowering life.
Scilla peruviana, or Portuguese Squill, begins to bloom. Small blue flowers radiate from a central bulb in a semi-shaded spot in early Spring.
