A photo (or two) a day meant to express everything that needs to be said. Don’t over extrapolate or strain yourself making too many inferences. They are just pictures.

I hate these pictures. They are pretty, but this time of year they just feel like summer is leaving. They are just beautiful reminders.

Here’s the same shot, just a bit farther down the road, and through the polarizer at the top of the windshield.

One of our graduate school buddies was passing through the area with his new wife and so we were invited to a cookout with friends in Wetumpka. His brother was there, along with various of his college friends who have taken us in as peripheral members of their group. We had great burgers and a fine time sitting on their back porch, talking and laughing and singing out of tune. The Yankee asked me to get her sweater out of the car.

Just beautiful reminders.
