Memorable Image

with 2 comments

Here is another image from my archives that showed up on our screen saver the other day. I am always thrilled to see this photo again. I captured this image up on Lake Superior in a bay at Grand Marais. That trip along the north shore holds extra-special memories because it was just Cyndie and me, celebrating another anniversary; our 25th!

One of our computers is set to have the screen saver display a slide show of any random image on the hard drive. It reminds me of when I play the music on my iPod in random mode and songs pop up that I didn’t even know were in my collection. I think it is funny that I need to look to see who performs the song, because I don’t recognize it. If it weren’t for the software randomly selecting the song, I would probably never hear it played. Sometimes, I am pleasantly surprise to discover that I really like a mystery tune from my own library!

Yesterday, I spent some time watching the slide show of our screen saver and I discovered pictures that I felt deserved more attention. There are pictures buried in randomly named folders –a convention that has evolved over the years– that I didn’t remember I had. There is no real rhyme or reason to them. Honestly, the best way to share them would probably be in the manner they appear on the screen saver, randomly, one after another.

Instead, I’m going to unscientifically pick one to display here as the spirit moves me (or whenever I haven’t got any idea what to write) for periodic idle distraction of escape to a variety of visual destinations. Feast your eyes on today’s selection!

Yellow Orange

The color of the landscapes in my region seem to change by the hour lately. It is mesmerizing. Yesterday, when I left the driveway to head off to the day-job, the leaves of our trees hardly hinted of the end of summer. Upon my return, at the end of the day, the difference was downright shocking! The honey locust tree that dominates one side of our lot had changed to a glowing yellow-orange color, and in the span of hours, was already showering everything beneath it in a blanket of those tiny leaves.

I am feeling September in a big way lately. This year, September reminds me of last year’s trip to Portugal. I am enjoying the memories immensely.
