Day 268 - a Year by the Sea

Backlit and red. The bittersweet vines are overrunning this corner of the marsh. They are climbing trees and sprawling atop a sumac thicket. It isn’t kudzu but it is a bit intimidating. Come fall, the bittersweet redeems itself with this showcase of the color red. It out-reds even the maples. Nothing comes close to this intense shade. Today is one of those anomalous September days that has everyone thinking about global warming. The day time temperature is expected to go over 90. For a cold loving New Englander, today is a real trial. I’m ready for frosts and even snow. I’ve lived in Phoenix and would never willingly live in that sort of climate ever again. Today is all about waiting for tomorrow and the cold front that’s coming.

Ciao!
