michigan.

i'd never seen michigan in november until just last weekend.
it was sunny.
but the sky was gray, and the trees were bare, and the water so still.
i really love that last picture
of boots and stairs.
just looking at it makes me happy.
not bad for a roll of expired film from ebay.

goodbye.

and just like that
october is gone.

suddenly.

i feel like it happened
suddenly.
one day, i'm waiting for
the blue skies
and changing leaves,
but there's nothing but gray.
and then, just like that:
color.

weekend.

long country roads.
we passed vineyards
and apple orchards
and fruit + veggie stands
and fields and fields
of gold.

waiting.

change is in the air.
i can feel it.
