Miss Morgan has been busy in the kitchen cooking up an appropriate feast for All Hallows Eve. The question is, is it a trick or treat?
Probably the worst pain I feel is the pain I make for myself.

Making mistakes since '94, you'd think I'd fucking learn sometime to unwind, to be less kind, to play the fool, to drop like a useless tool.
This is a made up diddy to help me feel pretty, please ignore, walk on, stand tall, continue to endure.
After completing a task in town, I noticed the ocean side clouds beginning to look lively. I beetled on over to a familiar spot as they began to open up, revealing the "Fingers" from above.
Now becoming more prominent, the separate sets pointed in different directions almost like hands preparing to pray. Periodically, opportunities present themselves, it is what we choose to do with them that counts.
In Europe's medieval philosophy and theology (note that they were not separated - just like the big cathedrals were not just places of worship but also the location of vast libraries) it was a common thought that two books were written "by the finger of God"; the Bible and Nature. My point here is not to return to a pre-modern world view, but to highlight that here we have a sophisticated understanding that studying and "reading" nature are an alternative way of getting closer to God [or, to use a more scholarly language, a way to educate our ignorance].

Male gelada (Theropithecus gelada) enjoying a a special treat
Geladas are an old world monkey found only in the Ethiopian Highlands, with a large population in the Semien Mountains. They are the only primates that are primarily grazers with grass blades making >90% of their diet. They eat both the blades and the seeds of grasses. This fellow lives in an all-male " bachelor" troop in the new Africa Rocks section of the San Diego Zoo. Conservation status: Least Concern
Somewhere along 17-Mile Drive between Monterey and Carmel, California.
Probably not the real name of this place, but that's what I call it.
Finger limes, Microcitrus australasica are an Australian species of citrus native to rainforests. They have been in widespread cultivation for about ten years.
The vesicles in the fruit unlike lemons and ordinary limes are crunchy. They taste like ordinary limes. These fruit are 1.8 in long.
For the Macro Mondays theme: citrus.
HMM and happy new week!
Thanks for visiting. I am most grateful for the very kind comments and faves.
My internet speed is a bit faster than it has been lately so I am trying to catch up. I still find that sometimes my comments and faves are not recorded immediately. I don't know if this is because my internet is slow or whether it is a problem with Flickr.
Eos works her magic at sunset near treeline below the Indian Peaks. The peaks include (l to r) South and North Arapaho Peaks, Mount Albion, Kiowa Peak, and Navajo Peak. The foreground meadow was formed by a fire that burned around 1916. The bare willows indicate frequent visits by moose and elk.
Bla Bheinn with a green finger of foreground interest. It was taken on the same day that I took the Cuillin picture with the house in front of it. A cracking day, light wise. This shot is only posible to get when the tide is high or you get the seaweed covered shoreline.
Fingers fall into the lake
Inside the water, they do make
Love to the hand of stone
That leads you to the loving throne
Where does sit the queen of hearts
Who from you, never parts
Who in your mind. forever lingers
She feels the touch of your fingers
That do fall into the lake
Where sweet love, they will make
Vestrahorn, is a 454 meter high mountain on the Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland on a cold afternoon 12 months ago. It is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland probably due to it's accessibility, though you do have to pay the landowner to enter the property. The clouds lifted for a short time allowing fingers of light to creep in with pleasingly contrast on the wet black sand.
Nature produces curious forms.
