25.8.10

crisp mornings and yellow leaves

I had a bad day yesterday.  One of those days that should be relegated to the backwaters and forgotton about forever.  Nothing went right.  I left work frazzled and fried, contemplating how I was going to approach things differently so that I can keep turning up to work and not feel like I'm banging my head against a wall.  I dragged myself up stairs to our apartment feeling just a tad sorry for myself.  Then, in an effort to get myself out of a funk I turned on Al Green - incredibly cheesy I know, but if 'Sh-La-La' or 'Here I am Baby' can't get you wiggling your bum and smiling without seemingly overly forced then I don't know what can.  After Al Green has got your hips interested, you can turn on the pop and dance like a Diva.  Anyway, with Al Green in the background I made some Sushi and sat at my computer and fiddled with a few photos.
And within the hour the funk was over and my belly was full of delicious tuna and smoked salmon sushi rolls.  Yum!  


The photo above is from last autumn - yep, it's coming up to a year since I first moved my suitcases to Berlin and started searching for an apartment with Matthias.  I spotted the first signs of Autumn in the trees this week and the morning air is crisp and inviting.  Won't be long before everything is looking like this.  Good-bye Summer, Hello Autumn!

Good heavens! That picture must have cheered you right up. Amazing, beautiful shot! I feel like I "should" love fall, but I sooooo hate winter, that to me...fall feels like impending doom. I wish I could just enjoy it while it's here. And it is one of my favorite times of year for taking outdoor pictures. :-) (I seriously just scrolled back up for another peek. That is one lovely shot!)
