I was determined to finish the rough draft of my script last night before I went to bed. So a little after 3am I finally typed “Fade Out.” That gave me only two hours of sleep last night so I’ve been a bit scattered today. So with a prompt like navigator, I decided to just go pretty literal and sketch a sextant. They are pretty neat devices, although I myself have only seen them in pictures or behind glass at a museum. I looked at a few different pictures of sextants and there are some variations, so I used a bit of my artistic license here.

On the way to pick up my son from the school bus this afternoon, this really pretty leaf was on my path. I love how the yellow is at the bottom and just a touch more along the veins. The wind was pretty strong and steady so I only got this one shot before it blew away. The grey of my jeans and the sidewalk only enhance the vibrancy of the colors. An imperfect picture- but I like it.

Are the leaves changing colors where you live right now?
