Finally, after a long and pleasant summer, it rained like crazy for a couple of days straight. It seemed unusual just because it hasn't happened for awhile, but soon it will be almost a daily routine. I love the rain, so no problem here. The piece of two-by-four is a harbinger of real logs to come as the rains wash the shores upstream. I took this picture on October 22, and today there was one of those interesting reed mats that cover the water just in the area of the photo. I got distracted before I took a picture of it, and soon it was gone.
You can't see their full beauty in the bright light and high contrast of the photo, but these flowers outside my front door have been my friends all summer. They found a niche, then withstood all events, including someone pulling off the bloom either because they liked it or "just because." There is a ton of foot traffic on the River Walk, so you never know. Anyway, they came back wonderfully and are still looking good today even after a couple of days of our first cold-snap. I'm sure they like the reflected heat from the building and the blacktop!
When I see a pink glowing sunrise like this one over the water . . .
. . . it usually means there's a brilliant sunrise over the River Walk.

Yep, getting into the weather period that your area is famous for. Like the photos. Especially the one with the pretty flowers that found a way and a place to bloom. Nature always, finds a way...
I see this is where the mutual admiration club gathers... LOL! Glad to see you well enough to savor the beauty around you... :-)
Great photos with mood and character. Thank you for the kind comment in Moscow photo blog!
