If autumn is when creation falls asleep, then the patient was knocked out cold yesterday. After the snow storm, my deck, which is usually an accurate measure of snowfall, lay beneath a foot of snow.
I did manage get out to take a few photos yesterday. Those will be appearing soon. (I shoot film instead of digital for a number of reasons I’ll gladly cover if you’d like, and given the treacherous driving conditions yesterday, I haven’t yet gotten the film to a photo lab – hopefully I will today.)
This photo was taken after a snowfall last spring. I wandered my backyard in search of a composition, and was not really satisfied with anything I had encountered. I stood under an oak tree, looked upward, and there it was. The lines of the branch remind me of a Japanese woodcut print, which appeals to my Asian heritage. The moon is a bonus.
So the moral of this story could be that when you’re frustrated and out of options, to look upward. Or, maybe better, to save a lot of grief, look upward first.
This cat means business
