eubIt was so beautiful today that I bailed on work (all I really can do for the next month is go over my defense talk again and again, and I'm sick of it) and went to Frick Park. That's after a little incident where the key wouldn't turn in the ignition because (it turns out -- zephyr++) the steering wheel wanted to be wiggled.
The Lower Falls Ravine path is so beautiful. Because you're walking down the bottom of the ravine, there's a great depth of trees rising above and around you. It's one thing when you're standing still, but when you walk and watch to the sides, the impression of huge leaf-dappled space is overwhelming. One side is yellow-green in the sun and buoyant in the shifting air, and the other is dim except for brilliant backlit leaves and where light falls in long shafts downslope.
