desolate and honest

You just crush yourself and walk away
I don’t care what the future holds
Cause I’m right here and I’m today
With your fingers you can touch me

Here’s one of those days when I couldn’t think of anything to write. :) But I couldn’t bear to leave a machine gun as the top image on the blog through the weekend. This photo is one from my hike yesterday. I’ve actually found a bit of an addiction with my bike recently. But like a car, sometimes a bike goes too fast and you miss the details. It was nice to walk through the cold wet day and listen to the leaves rattle against the branches. Many think of autumn as death. I suppose sometimes I do too. But on better days I remember that in autumn the costume green glow of chlorophyll gives way to the worlds true colors. There’s something nice about that. Cold, windy, desolate and honest. Amid the reds, blacks, orange and yellows I stand in the bitter wind, tingling and alive.

    Derrick - Nice image, “costume green glow of chorophyll” and it’s exactly right as well, The greens mask over the colours underneath, so in fact the Fall is the true image of Nature. Cool, really!

    That made me laugh!
    But I wasn’t laughing on saturday morning when i moved my blog over to www.fh2o.kuchingkayak.com and couldn’t get anything to work for a while!
