Projection
I wanted to be
who he thought I was
until I didn’t.
I took the photograph on Marrowstone Island this month.
Tamped
The Ragtag Daily Prompt is “trial by fire“.
Which makes me think of the wars, ongoing and restarting, and the fire and death. What do we get out of killing children? Burning homes and families. I don’t understand. Revenge? To “teach a lesson”? I think it will only teach more hate.
So this morning I am listening to the Bach Magnificat and then the Rutter Magnificat. Tamp the flames of hate and lift my voice in song and may the world work towards peace. I light my candles in the early morning in prayer for us all.
Violet
I was given an African violet for my birthday last March and it has not stopped blooming since. I’m not sure what I am doing right, since I haven’t had one before. Anyhow, it’s gloriously happy.

Fall delight
A garden uptown this month. Fantastic color this year!

Freeze and melt
Last winter, I walked Rock Creek Park with my son, daughter-in-law and daughter. There was a quite beautiful stream with wonderful ice patterns. We lost a button and then found it the next day, caught on the ice.
The ice formed beautiful patterns on the creek with the cycle of freezing and melting and air caught under the ice.
And the birds were out.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: melting.

Fallen and leaching and still beautiful!

The white heather downtown doesn’t care if it’s November, it’s happy.

Merganser family
Oooo, dad caught a fish! The kids are learning too! Small fry fish and small fry mergansers!
I took this in April 2022 on Irondale Beach, with the tide way out. Beautiful.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: fry.
