The Last Few Leaves

Autumn

As the outside world changes around us,

cooling, deepening,

turning inward,

what about the world within us?

Something Was Hungry.

I Guess Summer's Gone

Even though it was très froid this morning, the sprinklers still came on, freezing all the leaves.
This morning was the first frost I've noticed this fall, here in Pullman.

what's in here?

When I was a kid, we used to look inside rolled up leaves like this for little green caterpillars. However, sometimes we'd find things like earwigs and such that we weren't so fun to let crawl around on our hand.
Aphids! Not near as much fun a little green caterpillars.
There was a little green spider as well, but he was camera shy.
