first light, last color & a new post

This week one of my students told me that I've been 'slacking' - my word, not hers.  She noted that in the last couple of months my blog posts have become sporadic, to say the least.  And, she's right. As to why, I don't know, but I'll try to do better AK.  I remember when I first started reading Bill Allard's posts and how they dwindled from daily to weekly, then monthly and recently, one or two every 3 months.  Disappointed is too strong a word to use, but I was a little saddened not to get vignettes from a storyteller that I enjoy.  So, as the last leaves fall from the trees in my yard and October becomes November, here's a photo that was made with early morning light, kissing the tops of the trees & a promise of more posts to come.
