Pray to the Moon when She is round,
Luck with you will then abound,
What you seek for shall be found
On the sea or solid ground.

Wandering: We Are Not Ready.

We are not ready...

Afternoon at Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage, Alaska.

September 28, 2011, I took the photograph used in the post: Wandering: Procession

September 29, 2012, I took the photograph shown above.

Today the temperatures hovered in the mid 30's. Snow fell on the evening of the 28th & continues to linger... We are not ready. 

On this day, frozen fingers pawed away the frosty blanket in search of salvageable lingonberries, 
while tragic mycophiles flopped about in the snow & soggy leaf litter seeking survivors of the fungal variety.
Passers by looked askance. Some even stopped to ask (or advise)... Are you ready?


They willfully cling to Autumn's colours  as the snow encroaches.
They willfully cling to Autumn's colours
even as the snow encroaches... how I love them!


Gah! Who invited Santa this early? We're not ready!
Gah! Who invited Santa this early?
We're not ready!


We. Are. Not. Ready.

Here, windows that have stood open all summer are suddenly closed and latched! Same feeling.
