I Lichen Moss

The buses were on detour this morning. 

I missed my connection to make it to swimming practice 

at the Riviera Club, so spent the morning downtown, 

walking along the Canal and River Walk.

Of course, I took a gazillion pictures; I particularly

wanted some of turtles, but except for one determined

fella, there were neither turtles nor herons in sight.

The colors of the lichen and mosses on the

trees and limestone along River Walk

seemed subtle, complimenting each other in

a range of color that reminded me more 

of Fall than of late summer.

But then, autumn is just about a month away.
