This evening I walked to this album.  The 1974 Electric Light Orchestra classic title Eldorado.

Lights.  Lights make a picture.  In my concert going life I have seen some interesting lights.  Pink Floyd in 1987 at Rupp Arena.  The lasers going crazy.

Roger Waters’ 2017 show at The Yum Center.  The former Pink Floyd frontman always puts on a spectacle.

This was quite interesting.  The take on their Animals album cover.

Wish You Were Here.

And the Jeff Lynne ELO show in Nashville in 2019 was over the top.

This was really something to soak up.  The sights and sounds.  Jeff Lynne is the most gifted creative musical talent I have ever witnessed.  I believe that.

But, I believe this was better.  This was on my walk this evening as I listened to Jeff Lynne and ELO’s 1974 offering Eldorado.

I was delighted to catch a leaf in a fence.  It was waiting for me.

My own natural light show.  The only problem was there was nobody there to share it with.  I suppose that is why we are here now.

I tend to take time to look at these closely after I have discovered them.

I discovered a few turkeys.  This one was flying.

This guy was strutting, of course.

If only I had kept my composure when I came upon a deer not far from the photo below.

I know how fleeting this time of the year is.  Leaves turn.  The walnut tree leaves go first.  The sycamore is close behind.  We look up and see yellows, reds, and golds of autumn flying around in all their glory.  A strong north wind will show up in late October or early November and, like a thief in the night, we wake up to find our lovely trees have betrayed us only to tease us one more time.  They have their own way of telling us they will be back in full measure once again.  They tell us to be patient.  We are not like that.

So, we listen to our music.  We watch the lights come and go.

And through it all, we walk it off!

This was given to me by a dear old friend on my 40th birthday.

Look. Listen. Take it in.

Speaking the rights.
