Midnight Pub

crimson red leaves

~rainy97

the other day when i was traveling in between towns i saw a strikingly beautiful red tree on the ride back. it had me so intrigued that i had to google what trees in my area could even get so red– we have mellow oranges, withering greens and crunchy yellows but the reds are usually bright. this time it was saturated. the bark on it was white if i recall correctly. what a beautiful tree! i hope that tree truly feels special knowing it's colors stand out this time of year.

what's something you've noticed recently that made you happy? :)

Something that's made me happy recently, Is music. It sounds so simple but there's something about discovering new music that just makes me feel so much joy. I've been digging into the pre radiohead alt scene and their influences and been having a great time.

Have you ever walked past a tree in your neighbourhood, one that you've walked past a hundred times without thought, only this time to wonder: what would this place be like without this one tree there?

The one tree I'm talking about is a few roads down from where I live, but I walk past it every morning to the train station. Its a large sycamore-y oak (I'm bad with trees) that towers over the houses there, caking their roads with its currently yellowing/browning leaves.

We've been having pretty drastic weather changes here, and I'm sure the house owner has thought once or twice about what would happen if the tree fell one night and smashed their newly redone roof.

The usual solution is to preemptively cut it down, and when that inevitably happens, this place will not be the same place again. The charm will just be gone.
