Beautiful country!
I hope you'll hike back up there to photograph when the leaves turn.

Steve MillerToday I saw a nice little garden with succulents in it at a condo complex on the Marina. It's new and hasn't filled in yet but it's looking good already:
It's at the base of this cool wooden footbridge (which needs new lighting - the reason I was there):

LLI love the texture in that new garden.
Just wish people would half bury their rocks, to make them look more natural.

It sure is, AdagioM. And the best part, as I was thinking while coming down this afternoon (which was almost as hard as climbing up!), is that I don't have to leave to go back to NYC. I'm here!
As much as there is about NY that I love, it sure feels good to know that if I want to climb the mountain again tomorrow, I can. Ah, this peace is heavenly. Yes.

Absolutely, Steve! I was thinking about that this afternoon. Oh man, if this fall is anything like last year it'll be great.

Beautiful. I remember when I visited Kenny some years back, being enthralled with the flora. It was all so unfamiliar and new and fresh to my New England eyes.

BeeLadyBernard what a change from Brooklyn! Love your photos!
Tonight Shorty and I shopped at Costco. This was in the parking lot near the front door.
And on the way home we shopped in stores in the plaza with our closest Market Basket...I went in only far enough to take this pic and add my receipt to the collection.

CHASToday I saw a huge pickup truck on giant wheels.
A sticker covered most of the rear window.
It read OVERCOMPENSATING.

Matt G.Hiding behind a local industrial area is a little gem of a wetland. Years ago it was a degraded swampy area completely overrun by invasive
Phragmites reeds, but was remediated and returned to something akin to its former state.
I had known it was there, and one could see the remediation in progress, albeit from afar. But then, I noticed recently on Google Maps that there had been a bike/pedestrian path put in alongside it, and that the path was accessible from the parking lot of the ice arena that abuts it.
So, yesterday, in between errands, I stopped by to take a look. It doesn't appear that anyone ever uses it, and as I walked the path alone, I felt an uplifting sense of peace and solitude. I saw all kinds of interesting plants and wildlife in a natural setting, literally only two miles from my house.
I shall have to return soon!

AdagioMIn Nashville:
The gold leafed piano that Priscilla gave Elvis on the occasion of their first wedding anniversary. It's a Kimball. It's in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Floyd Cramer's piano in RCA Studio B, where thousands of hits were recorded. Elvis played this piano, and I played a silent glissando in his memory yesterday on the 37th anniversary of his passing.
