Here we are half-awake

The second-best part of this highly mediocre day was a gyro on which I put a phenomenal amount of tzatziki, to the point that by the end of it the meat was probably the condiment. The best part was taking a walk with [personal profile] spatch right before sunset. I remembered to bring my camera.



Since our street has proved something of a canyon when it comes to afternoons, I have gotten into the habit of walking up to Tufts for my allotment of late sun and brick.



Their last roses of summer are particularly voluptuous.



This Karnak-wall of sandstone belonged to one of the residential halls.



Up close it was filled with the wealth of tiny shells and spines and bones, the settling of an ancient seafloor.



Rob took a dramatically sun-flooded picture of me.



I liked the interaction of the subject with the shadow.



This brilliantly dead leaf in its mesh of green looked like as good a symbol of autumn as any to me.



A moment of silence for the birch that used to grow around the corner of our block.

More the flip side of the same conversation, if it isn't just a confusion - and poor Dame Maggie getting no luck with conversation all round if so, heh. It's what happens when you get that awesome?

This is a bit stupid, but someone actually appears to have put the entire series on Dailymotion.

Oh, well, good! I'm glad it's turned up somewhere you can get at it if you need to! It would be nice if it was available sensibly as well, but then when we say available sensibly, I suppose we do at this point between us share a very last decade definition of that. ALAS. *fistbumps*
