Brings to mind the guy who some years back packed in a small b+w television to this same summit, and was watching a Red Sox-Yankees game when we arrived.

to everything there is a season-9517

I missed the flowering prime of these peony blooms, but nonetheless found a beauty even more compelling in its starkness (and playfulness  – think underwater).  That night a severe thunderstorm came through, and the next day, all the petals here had fallen away, leaving only those magnificent earthen ruby-colored seed pods.

Slow Turning, Walpole, NH

slow turning -6578

No longer summer, not yet winter. This late fall shot brings to mind that great John Hiatt tune, Slow Turning (chorus below and a link to a performance from the David Letterman show here, Sonny Landreth is on slide).

“It’s been a slow turning, from the inside out,
a slow turning, baby, but you come about,
slow learning, but you learn to sway,
a slow turning, baby, not fade away.”
