after a weekend adventure on the water

 

some of my photos

turned out

 

as patches of solid shades of color

each a bit different

 

all shades of autumn, my favorite season

nothing i saw looked like these

wondering where this lovely series of shades came from and how they got there.

two hearts.

Posted on by
Standard

two hearts

found on a walk

first, old stone

second, unknown 

 even if 

somewhat dubious

never question it

every heart

has an origin story.
