... a couple of the better things about this time of year, of course it comes with less daylight. Leaving for work usually a little after 6am is pitch black with clear skies or a morning like today with rain and fog leaves a lot to be desired. There will be a bit of relief in a couple of weeks when we set the clocks back and as I've lamented here before we reset the progression to A.M. darkness. Occasionally on my lunchtime strolls around downtown Portland I get a taste of my admiration for well constructed scaffolding and Monday's wanderings brought me upon a fine specimen of exterior skeletal order and stability on Park Street shown in the photo. I have no desire to clamber about the structure towering above the brick walkway though as a child jungle gyms provoked a fascination that I was seldom able to partake in so I admit there is some connection.
Life is full of good and bad experiences but I seem to find the most pleasure from fleeting moments of each day. Sure I get frustrated a lot more than I should but every now and then "just a little is enough" to keep me going.

Sunny skies and cooler walking...
