Catch the sun, make the most

Astronomical summer is coming to an end. So whenever the sun shines, make the most of it. I woke this morning before six, to catch cloudless skies that would become overcast by 10 (according to the forecast on my phone). Feed the cats, eat breakfast (scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on matzos, coffee, pressed apple juice), and set off.

Below: early sun streaming through forest – that is exactly what I want to catch this morning. The crunch underfoot of dry leaves and twigs. It's good to realise that I'm minutes by foot from the woods. A contrast from yesterday's urban post.

Below: the track from Machcin II to Grobice, under a gorgeous mid-September sky.

Below: forest crossroads, unasphalted track. To the left: Machcin. Straight on for Rososz. Right for Dąbrowa Duża, and behind me – Adamów Rososki.

Below: the edge of town, where the villages meet.

Below: the way back home. Thinking about lunch. 

Below: I get home to find Wenusia still feeding the kittens (not so small any more!). the 14th week is approaching an end... She looks a bit pissed off, if I may say so...
