Greenwood Cemetery, Dallas TX January 13, 2017
“Things blossom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.”
I quoted from The Graveyard Book, because the first time I walked through Greenwood Cemetery that's what I was listening to, on Audible. The cemetery is old and solemn, but so peaceful to walk through. Its a little quiet oasis in the middle of a modern city that is constantly loud with construction and cars.

These were lying on the sidewalk near my apartment in Dallas. I picked them up on my walk and made a winter candle decoration of them (with more added) later.
“When the oak is felled, the whole forest echoes with its fall, but a hundred acorns are sown in silence by an unnoticed breeze.”

“I saw a seagull hanging out by a lake, but I said “Don’t worry Dude. I won’t say anything.””
I think this is a ring-billed gull. I see more of them in the late fall, and they are less afraid than the gulls I usually see in the summer. This one didn't fly away while I was taking pictures. He was also fearless about the cold waves crashing toward him from the lake.
