Halloween has become big business in the USA — I’m used to that, and have always liked both the popular festivities and the spiritual traditions “Celebrating the Season”
Bright Spirit
I pass by this mural on the side of Thundersley Congregational Church every day, and don’t usually give it much thought, but this afternoon the “Bright Spirit”
Beachcombing
Beachcombing runs in the Saward family. While I walked along the seawall this morning, Jeff and our granddaughter, Lucy, shuffled along at the edge of “Beachcombing”
Grandmother Spider
Spiders. They are everywhere this time of year, and I marvel at their amazing webs. I love watching them spin and repair their lacy testaments to “Grandmother Spider”
As Lovely as Ever
As picturesque as ever, the Rayleigh Mill stands tall behind a screen of bright berries. A breathtaking day, with a crisp chill in the “As Lovely as Ever”
Bright Bursts
There’s a lot of grey around Thundersley today. We’ve had a bit of rain, but mostly it’s just grey enough to make the first red “Bright Bursts”
Art in Bloom
Our neighbourhood gardens are being cut back as the flowers die off and we start preparing for winter. But a few hearty blooms still hang “Art in Bloom”
Perfectly Sunday
Yesterday’s fog is long gone, and this morning dawned bright and clear. With golden sunshine streaming in on us, we decided to take advantage of “Perfectly Sunday”
Morning Fog
Uh oh, our golden sunshine has been obscured by thick fog — still seasonal, but not so energizing. As a northern California native, I am “Morning Fog”
Love that Fox!
Instead of the woods, I headed to the mall this morning with my two favourite walking companions. My buddy picked out his own cutest-ever backpack “Love that Fox!”
