Devil’s Postpile

Looking back at October 2015 (mostly because I’m sad that I couldn’t see the fall colors there this year and since I was feeling sorry for myself I thought I’d make myself feel even sadder by viewing last year’s photos … I’m silly that way!) I was reminded of some fun places we stopped in the Eastern Sierra. This was one of those places.
 
I’d never been to Devil’s Postpile before and because we woke rather late in the morning (something G Dan Mitchell doesn’t do if I’m not along … sorry Dan!) he suggested we go there — especially since I’d not been. He has a spectacular image from the location. I don’t. But I still have my memories. And a few photos. Here’s one.

My Weekend

Mondays are, for me, the weekend. I very rarely have rehearsals on a Monday, and I only teach on Mondays when I have to cancel some other time during the week (sadly that’s happened more this year than before and I do miss my one “weekend” day, but I miss my students more and like to give them the reschedule opportunity). Today, though, is all mine and I look forward to a good walk, followed by a few errands. It’s possible the wind won’t allow for a lot of photography, and there’s even talk of rain, but if it’s only slightly breezy and if the rain can hold off I can always find some sturdy succulents and work with them. I will also continue my quest for fall color. It is, after all, that season … and my favorite time of year!
