Two Trees

I can't stop staring at this picture, so much so that I made it my background. Today, when I glanced at it from an odd angle I decided I had to turn it into a black and white (more accurately: a sepia) and I still find it hard to take my eyes off of it. Nice work nature.

The Non-Season

Today was wonderfully warm outside, however, most of the trees have lost their leaves, the grass is still a lush green, it gets dark around 5pm and there is not one bit of ice on any lake, river or puddle. I am feeling slightly (albeit delightedly) confused about the season. It also appears my computer and our internet are confused. My computer because it is working relatively quickly, and the internet.. well, just because it's working! I spent the better part of the last hour updating the gadgets, colors and title of my blog trying not to get my hopes up that I'd actually get to post something new. Alright, and I was procrastinating because for some reason breaking the ice and telling my blog we're going to post again makes one apprehensive. I got used to months on end of having little permanent record of my internal madness? monotony? masochist? I even thought about picking up the old paper journal again because I do need some outlet for all of the disorder in my brain. In the end I decided that the whole point of writing is to have someone read it and the maintenance of my little space on the interweb fulfills a creative itch I need to scratch.
