these clouds.

purple sunrise.

the sky (again).

watching half the sky turn a golden orange as the sun slips out from behind the blanket of clouds just above the horizon.

...and then later, a bit more pink.

the sunlight, grass, trees, straw.

this sky.

the sunset from knight hall.

this puddle.

my favorite magnolia tree with buds in late november.

trees with red and yellow fall leaves not yet fallen and spring blossoms openings in late november.

trees that are green, yellow and red all at once, like a traffic light exploding outward.

sunset in Playa El Tunco, El Salvador.

this picture.

this chandelier of dried plants hanging in the middle of the restaurant where we ate brunch this morning.

plane tracks in this sky.

this cloud, the white flowers on campus, the smell and temperature of the air, and finally the moon like an intrepid yellow lamppost up in the sky.

biking home

I love the flowering trees, teenagers smoking pot by the creek, warmer air and longer daylight that make biking home after class ends at 7 p.m. so pleasant, when I arrive home just as the street lights flicker on and kids are still out on the street on skateboards and bikes with training wheels.
