Was out later than usual last night. It wasn't planned. A long talk with a good friend. To some degree we were sharing notes about the change in weather and the change in seasons. We hadn't visited with each other for a while so it started out in a courteous inquiry. In a somewhat oblique but really not so oblique manner, we were checking each other's observations on what we were seeing in the changes around us. But I think we talked about some pretty deep and important things. It was a big part of my Daily Walk and it made me pause. I appreciated that.
On my drive home, I recalled the sense that we both felt like there may be storm front moving in.

Since January, I have taken many weather and season pictures in my Daily Walk. The SmartPhone helps since its always handy.

One day on my commute into the city, I took a route much less traveled by me. From previous jaunts out of the city, I knew there were apple orchards on this path. I left extra early to get the early morning light. I took the extra time to stop and contemplate the color and the contrast I was hoping for. I wanted rolling hills. I wanted the newest and freshest of blossoms. I wanted the chiascaro effect of dark and light contrast. I was seeking the impressionistic effect.
