Sycamore in the Morning
/Unique activities for yesterday:
Sycamore in the morning. I was out on the deck before 6 AM. The temperature was already in the 70s and the sun had come up a few minutes before. It was the best time to be out since it was already humid, and the temperature was only going up. I ate my breakfast while enjoying the birds waking up in the forest. A squirrel came up near the bird feeder and looked through the screen at me – leaving again. Our cat was keeping me company. The sun came up enough that the top of the trees of the forest started catching the morning light. I took some pictures of the sycamore: the leaves that had blown off, the leaves damaged by low temperatures in May (or maybe something else), bouquets of perfect green leaves against the blue sky, Virginia Creeper growing up the twin trunks.
Window into the forest. I was back in the house about 7 and happened to look out the kitchen window at the prefect time to see the sun stream into the interior of the forest – the red maple and tulip poplar and black walnut in the foreground. It happens for a few minutes every morning.
A Zentangle Prompt
It’s tangler’s choice today. Instead of trying a new pattern – pick ones from the last week to make again – in a new combination or as a monotangle. Take your pick from: FAUX WEAVE, FEATHER FALL, MEER, ROSCOE, SAND SWIRL, SAFFLOWER, SQUID, TRIADZ, GINGO, TUMBLEWEED, TWISTEE, and UNDLING. Or maybe decide to take a break and just admire a mosaic of your tiles made over the past 6 days. Here is a mosaic of my tiles for the past week.
