Sylvia's world in thoughts and pictures
Even a chilly, foggy October day can be a joy here in Washington. A lovely stand of trees near the shoreline of Puget Sound, the colors are beautiful, the ducks are still enjoying an early morning swim, a lone crow on a bare limb and my son and his dog. We all enjoyed the morning! And I share this part of my world with you.

It was a rainy day today, that is until just before the sunset and I decided to see if I could get some photos. As I went out to my car I looked up and saw a tiny sliver of a rainbow -- you may have to enlarge the photo to see it(click on the photo), but it's there, a tiny sliver of hope for a better day and I thought -- how appropriate!
Then I headed to the park above the harbor and caught the sun making a surprise appearance before settling down for its evening rest.
And as it broke through the clouds I thought -- again, how appropriate for now, those fingers of light that drive away the darkness.
Then, on my way home, I saw another one of those brilliant red trees/bushes! Not sure exactly what they are, but from what I've been able to find out they're in the maple family. Needless to say, it was a fun way to end the day. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them. Happy weekend! 
We don't have the brilliant autumn colors here in the northwest that you find in New England states, but as I drove around our neighborhood yesterday I found a few beautiful colors along with one of my favorite parks overlooking Puget Sound. We've had some truly beautiful days lately and they have helped soothe all the bad feelings regarding the election, the nasty plots, the fear, the anger and concern. We need these beautiful things, scenery to nourish our hope, to remind of us of what is really important. It is there all around us in nature, in the faces of children, the closeness of families and friends and pets. But we do have to take off the blinders and remember to breathe deeply. So, I wish you all a beautiful day from Seattle.
