Relative Something

You feel like the fall season might be in full swing around here? I haven’t captured the photo yet that I really want. The trees in several places nearby have dropped their leaves straight to the ground below and created a virtual carpet of color beneath the branches. The sight of leaves covering the ground so completely is one of my favorite things. The next windy day will alter that artwork. I guess the fleeting nature of the scene is one of the reasons I value it so highly. It’s a shame I haven’t gotten out with the camera to capture the views. Although, with my basic camera, the scale of the whole vista of tree and surrounding turf is likely too wide to adequately frame without losing valuable detail that the eye so easily drinks in. It can’t look nearly as amazing in picture as it does in person.

We are scheduled to revert to standard time on the first Sunday of November, so that means this coming weekend we get to set our clocks back 1 hour. It’s my favorite weekend of the year. Something about getting one extra hour really appeals to me. I feel sorry for the person that has to work the night-shift when this happens. Clock-watching at work on that night must be a real bummer. Once the clocks change back that 1 hour to standard time, I feel like fall finally has truly arrived.
