Following the Flow.... Always Feels Better (and Better and Better)

Following my intuition, I found autumn, my favorite ducks, changed landscapes and wrote with Literary Granny Virginia Woolf as my Guide

The night before, I slept from 6 pm to 6 am, an effect of a massage re-introducing lingering chemo poison into my body. After I dropped Emma at school I decided the park and the ducks needed my presence as much as I needed theirs.

The ducks enjoyed this five pound bag of wild bird seed I put in piles under the autumnal tree.

I took photos, thinking it was about as creative as I would get today.

Autumn looks different here in Central California. It is sort of a random polka dot sort of thing here.

There is a power in place. This imperfect park holds many happy memories for me and interestingly enough, nothing overtly negative.

(No wonder it calls me.)

There are some shots I didn't get because my phone is on its last legs and likes to give up when I am barely getting started.

I drove around the park (had to continually charge my phone. Loved the green, yellow, red, old fence look.

There is power in the missed shot. It is an invitation to return on another day.

The light coming through the tree here looks so divine to me: like a little high five from nature. This light effect also made my phone "give up the ghost" pun definitely intended!

Day 3 of "There must have been sky" with leaves added from autumnal trees at the park and words selected as writing prompts. This is an entirely me photo. I can almost see my face in it.

This week started out pretty rough but in coming full circle, it is downright remarkable. Again!
