Up at sunrise and it's a chilly fall morning with only a few specks of sun, but I caught some gold. Also ordered a bagel qith scallion cream cheese. But the pic isn't that.

The tree branch from my sycamore the road workers broke off being fast and careless. The car is a neighbor tenant who can't park on the street so I let him use my empty driveway. And not because he's drop dead gorgeous with a panty-dampening smile (yeah, I'm 70, so what?)
