Lesson 764: Fading Daylight

Hello, Readers.

It's hard to believe we've come 'round to Friday once again. 

It's the time of year that the daylight fades,

no matter how hard we try to save it.

I spend more of my waking hours at the Lamp Post

in the dark.

When I leave work,

long shadows fall across the school lawn.

The sun  was setting in just the right way

to light up the tree in a glorious burnt orange.  

The drive down Firman Road

heads into the setting sun

the fading light

matching my fading energy.

But, no time for tired

if I have a winter walking challenge to complete.

Busted out the Stormy Kromer.

my reflective jacket,

and hubby's bigfoot cap.

We headed out into the spooky,

dark night.

Or,

like 6:30 pm.

The winter 100 is nice

because you can set your own rules.

So yes, 

Firman Road

and the Community Park paths 

count as a hike in the winter.

The forest floor is really getting pretty.

I love the smell of this point in  the fall.

Fading light

summons the fading life in the leaves.

Cloud fronts loom low in the distance.

In the foreground

are two of my three walking partners.

The little brown one was out of the frame on a hard sniff.

There is still plenty of pretty left in the fall season

so get out there and appreciate it.

The Powder Puff volleyball game

was not pretty for the sophomore class.

Team Green lost to a rowdy bunch of seniors.

They had lots of fun though.

And that's the most important.

Have a fun weekend!
