GOLDEN GLIMPSES OF AUTUMN

Of course you want to hear updates. An afternoon visit to Cookeville Medical Center today. A COLD ride in a rambling ambulance. Why do they leave the air condition blasting when it's 70 degrees outside?

Arrived on time at the radiation department (believe me, I remember the ordeal of going there for seven weeks in 2023 - every one remembered me).

Today they put me on the most uncomfortable hard rack (rack of TORTURE). My back and spine hurt so bad I almost screamed. Measured the bandaged wound, took photos/xrays (whatever), made black magic markings all over my flesh.

Radiation treatments start next Monday (22nd) and will continue for five days. The cancerous "wound" will shrink and bleeding should stop.

I'm not expecting miracles, but........

And now, boys and girls, my random glimpses of autumn.

Don't groan - - - I know 90% of you loathe my A.I. (artificial intelligence) creations....fake.

Hey, here's a FLASH!!!

The movies you watch are fake, the novels you read are fake, the news you watch is often fake, the makeup you wear is fake, half of the food you eat is fake.......

Welcome to the Glorious World of Fictitious!

Okay.....

A long time ago, when I was fifteen, I bought a book of American art. There was one painting in there, called "My Parents." I don't remember the artist but it had a great impact on me. The picture depicted an elderly couple in an autumnal forest. They seemed to be at the end of a path - -  Somehow it filled me with a pang of overwhelming sadness.....and deep melancholy.

At that time in my life, I didn't want to realize there is an eventual.....end......

I tried to recreate the painting using A.I. but with very little success.

Another creation, Faded Chords, with myself perhaps in mind......

Hungry Trio. Perhaps a lighthearted moment? I made about eight of these mice pictures....some more devious than others. Mice are destructive!

The red fox was sleeping in all of my pics, but here he woke up.

The Apple Lovers. Think what you like......

Turkey Time. I made the pic this morning. One of my friends in northern Calif. is presently overrun by wild turkeys. She inspired me.

Awakening Crows. Did I previously post this? Can't remember....but crows are autumnal.

Puppy Love. Well, doggos love autumn, too.

Perhaps? Autumn can be spooky. Is she lamenting a lost lover.....or perhaps glad she got rid of one.....

Under the Harvest Moon. There are romantic autumn nights, which I remember....

Are you getting bored?? Heck my annoying imagination, with unnecessary dots......

Deep in the Forest. This could be the witch's house.

Unleashed at sunset. Have you ever lived near bats? A great chorus of squeaking.

Remembering long ago

 .....is nourishment to feed our soul.

Pretty Kitty. Sometimes these feline pics look so real.

Thanks for enduring me.
