Goethe’s theory of colour postulated that colour was an edge effect between darkness and light, and that the colours the human mind viewed were dependent upon mood and health — that they, in fact, displayed it. If that’s the case, take this as Okanagan Lake seen from my house on the day I returned home from six days in the hospital with pneumonia, much of it in isolation in the basement.
Never has anything looked so good. Here’s another view, this time to the sun, and clouds, and breath:
Goethe was onto something.

Harold,
Hope you are feeling better. I miss your blog messages. The natural world is a beautiful place, and we are so lucky to be in BC!

….And of course Goethe’s last words are said to have been, “More light.” Some of us have taken this to be a typically profound utterance from our beloved poet, but I read somewhere recently that he was only asking someone to open the blinds!
Glad you are home, and not in a basement!

there have been some amazing plays of light (or of the edges between light and darkness) this fall. Sorry to hear you were ill. But glad you are on the mend. Sending many thoughts your way,

Yeah, I missed a lot of those, as I’ve been out of it for 2 weeks now. You’ll have to send me pics.
