View From My Window*

Posted by julie on Sunday, 14 October 2007, 20:49

On Wednesday, I stepped out of class to sunny skies and a street fair with yummy-smelling pahd thai, so I headed to an indoor ATM and came back outside. It was pouring, so I bailed on the tasty food and went to pick up Sylvan, grateful that I’d brought full raingear. As Sylvan and I biked home, the sun emerged, blinding me with the glare off the street. I really enjoy these autumn and spring days, fickle with their weather. I figured the rest of the day would shape up in similar fashion, so, after carrying my already-sleeping child up to bed, I put the camera in my pocket to show you what 10 October 2007 looked like in Eugene.

1:18 p.m., looking west from bedroom window

Autumn leaves and gray sky

1:19 p.m., looking south from bedroom window, through screen. This is the last of the blue sky I encountered on my ride home.

The last piece of blue sky

1:27 p.m., looking south from office window

Neighbor’s truck, the “Glug Glug,” and lots o’ water

4:26 p.m., looking west from front porch

Clearing up for the evening, in typical fashion
