Intimations of Autumn


All day today, from morning onward, I was experiencing weather suggestions of autumn. The day itself was relatively cool and in the morning the Valley was greeted with the most beautiful puffy clouds. Yes, two items that are recurring themes on my blog (among the many): rock formations on the ground and cloud formations in the sky. It all makes for beautiful vertical symmetry. Today, despite the palm trees rising into air and the cacti populating landscaped areas and lawns, I could not get autumn out of my head. There was a coolness to the day, a lessening in the intensity of heat, and the air possessed a slight moisture, that I just couldn't resist recalling cool, damp, autumn mornings in Chicago after a night of rain, with clouds parting to reveal a rich, intensely blue sky. Memories. At any rate, today was a photo-rich day, and I have other photos that I will post later. In the meantime, I just couldn't resist sharing these.

  1. There is so much to say, Happenstance...your photos, categorically, are sensitive, inspiring, & beautiful...but I must say, I especially appreciate your photos of the murals in Downtown Phoenix! I would like to share them with my elementary art classes, if you wouldn't mind!
