Last Day Before Winter

In St Louis Missouri, we are generally prepared for rapid changes in the weather. On my walk this evening, I watched the storm brood on the horizon, but I didn’t realize how fast it was moving.

A dark cloud was coming

Innocently, my dog and I meandered along the trail. I took photos, while Stash sniffed every shrub.

Ominous

The balmy 79 degrees F felt almost sticky at the beginning. Stash was so happy to be out on a walk.

Autumnal beauty
Misleading Serenity
Alone on the trails
Same creek different direction
Iron determination to continue
Unexpected in a bird nest – walnut?
The colors of autumn barely hanging on in some places.
Barely
The wind picked up

The temperature dropped 20 degrees, the wind kicked up 20 mph, and the horizontal rain pelted us.

The leaves swirled like tornadoes
Collecting data

Stash knew trouble was afoot, she dragged me back to the car. She was disgusted in me that I resisted too long and she was left to be molested by the swirling leaves.

I will have to regain her confidence. She just hasn’t lived through enough seasons in St Louis.

A Nightly Ritual

The sun punctuates the circadian rhythms of our lives. Humans from the dawn of time have been captivated by the nightly ritual. 

This photo captures the sun, and two islands of Lanai on the left and Molokai on the right.  The Clouds showed up to play a starring role.

Front Street – Lahaina Maui

At the Baldwin House I learned how the Robber Barons of the late 1800’s took over all the Islands by force, so they could make their fortunes. They tried to exterminate the Hawaiians and remove all their cultural aspects. All the Royal Buildings were destroyed. 

Lahaina became a whaling town. 

Now it is pure entertainment, the sunsets are brilliant.
