Last fig leaf, garden, Roscoe

It fell about two minutes after this.

Some more of our Autumn light.

Melting leaf, garden, Roscoe

This is a leaf from one of our Daturas, or Angel's Trumpets. When they fall to the ground they deteriorate faster than any leaves I know. This one was one day old, and a brown skeleton two days later.

Morning light, kitchen, Roscoe

I love this time of year here in North Florida. The light is low and slanted for a good two hours after sunrise and before sunset. Because we are so far south we retain longer days. The northern latitudes have had to give up their  super long days in trade for super long nights. We now have one hour more of daylight than where we lived in Vermont and the advantage will grow for six more weeks or so. It gives me many usable hours to try to capture the lovely light. Also, this time of year is our driest and least cloudy, so we get to see that light. And........no snow and only occasional frosts.
