Sometimes gloom settles heavily on the psyche. It may be from lack of activity or perhaps from the weight of years, with its attendant ailments. Or it could be a vitamin deficiency.
But few treatments are as effective as a vigorous walk for an hour or more, preferably in the late morning. Now is the optimal time of year for walking, with clear, sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. But the splendor of the wildflowers that appear in September and gallantly resist the scarcity of rains has a specially therapeutic effect.
The flowers along the roadside dazzle with their colors of pink, gold and deep blue. The fields not in cultivation are spread out in pink blankets of cosmos. Girasoles (sunflowers) beam cheerfully on their long stalks. The mountains form a steady green backdrop to the impermanent but welcome floral displays of this season.
Today, after the sun comes over the hills and when the morning fog lifts, I'm going for a walk amidst the flowers.

Great shots. Looking goooooood.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the comment. I just had a little email exchange with Ron. He said he had been at a bar-be-que at your place. Sounds nice.
I just read parts of this blog. I am thinking you have a shot website too, or is that someone else?
And I just noticed a title "Drinking the Kool-aid" which I am going to read right now.
Take care, Andee
