Twilight stillness

I’m easing into a time of seclusion.

I’m not completely “secluded” yet, as I have to finish a few things tonight and during a small portion of tomorrow afternoon.

But the magic is still happening. Like during a last minute decision to go for a walk this evening.

It was almost dark, but so beautiful. And so still. I could see bats flitting through the air. I could hear silence.

I could feel peace.

Halloween fun

These are photos from the neighborhood where we stayed in Sacramento.

The Halloween decorations started going up very early in October; people were really into it!

We liked these best because they were rather light and joyful.
The feet sticking out of the plant (on the left) is subtle but quite effective.
I thought the guillotine was a nice (though gruesome) touch.
Can you see all the “bats” on the side of the house?
Creepy, kooky, spooky, and ooky!
Okay, this one’s not about Halloween, but was so fun I had to share!
