Just two short weeks ago I took this on a walk around the block. Now the wind has taken them all. But they were so beautiful while they lasted. Almost like a flower that way. A famous old quote says, “The beauty of the rose is that it blows, and goes.” For more ideas about ruby red around the world, click HERE.

Thought I’d try a new meme, Scenic Sunday (click HERE). Lord knows there are plenty of photos to choose from. Since I’ve been taking a camera everywhere for as long as I can remember, I have one or two photos. I wish I could throw some out. Digital makes me take far more, but at least helps organize easily. This one is scanned from a film print, taken in ’01 in Bodega Head, California. There are two little people on the rocks. Hope you like it.

We didn’t go camping this summer, but I was thinking about it and wish we could. Here is a photo from last year’s campsite, not too far from Mt. Ranier. I look at it and it makes me hear the quiet and smell the night air.
