Fire and Sky

Fire and Sky, originally uploaded by back to basic.

I thought that this photo pretty much summarized how I feel about winter coming. Yesterday was probably the good weather's last stand against the reign of fall. It rained then shined then rained then shined and finally rained. This was a good contrast, the fire of the changing leaves against the bright sky of summer, never again to meet. That may be a little too melodramatic. Sorry. The fact is that the bright days of summer are definitely over and a dreary Eugene winter is close at hand. Usually I dread the winters in Eugene but this year I am going to take an optimistic look at it: Bring it on!
