A few unexpected surprises for days 11 and 12. I ran out of time yesterday, so I’m doubling up today.

After a long and stressful day, I decided to put the top down, put the puppy in the car and head to the park. With a zero percent change of rain on my weather app — surprise! A nasty storm rolled in. We made it to the park in time to put the top back up and take a quick lap near the Muny before the ominous clouds let loose.

And the best surprise of all…look closely below and you’ll see just the slightest hint of fall. In just a few weeks, those trees will be a red frame around this composition. Bring it on!

And here’s day 12. The sweetest little pink moth that almost blended in with the center of this bloom. I know today is the first day of fall, but I am so thankful my neighbor hasn’t cut back her garden.
