..."Our plants, our plants!" they scream. And then he wakes up, and his dad is yelling, "My pants, pants!"--trying to find his clothes as he rushes to get ready for work.

Frosty Morning

The ground was still frozen this morning, and there was a fair amount of frost on the grass and other surfaces. Blue and lavender were the predominant tones, especially in the distance.

A few people came by, jogging, or with dogs. The only ones who stopped were three women who did stretching exercises on the north bench.

Even above the street, there were purple and lavender clouds. Later the sun came out, but the frost lingered.

As the sun drops lower, I think of the music of Chopin. A sailboat with a white sail slowly makes its way across Union Bay. A man approaches with two little short-haired dogs with spots over their faces. It would have made a wonderful photo if I were a more skilled photographer, or at least quicker to react to the situation. I love the look of a dog being led on a leash around the curve of the edge.
