It’s been a lovely Saturday here in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA.  Please to enjoy an impressionistic shot of brilliant sun on the turning leaves. Please to wax nostalgic for one last flower, before the final deepfreeze sets in.  (Sorry, eastern USA.) … Continue reading →

Posted on October 27, 2011 by nadbugs
