It must really be looking like autumn there --- it still looks like the middle of summer here. Hard to write about autumn when it's in the 90's. :)

hototogisu: thank you. you do great job yourself. and right now my muse is reluctant to produce...

zingtrial: thank you. glad you liked it.
take care.

charlie: that's what i was trying to convey. when i saw that vine (the shot doesn't do it justice) i knew i'd have to write about it, but i allowed myself some poetic freedom with the fragment (the news part). i think it's open-ended enough for everyone to create their own story...

margie: many thanks.

kai: thank you. take care!

pat: better than being a trunk others cling to (or maybe not)
thank you!

tim: thank you. glad it worked for you.

andrew: i know the feeling. we, too, had a spell of nice warm weather (in the low 20's C; that would be i think low 70's F) until yesterday when it cooled significantly. but the nature does what it's supposed to do: trees have started to change colour, berries and acorns and chestnuts ripen, birds migrate... fall has arrived.

floots: thank you floots.

mb: thank you!

I love this one. Friends are so important, and I've got the best. You really outdid yourself on this one!:)

thank you, aurora, i'm glad this one worked for you.

friendship has become a recurring theme for me recently...
it is a two way relationship, and in order to have friends one has to be a friend, in order to receive one has to give... you seem to be able to handle these things just right.
