Back to Delta to see what a non-monochromatic cement factory might look like. Lots of texture in the sky, and heavy traffic on River Road, loaded semis slamming by, blatting their air horns just for fun. Flocks of Canada geese making regular arrivals and departures out on the river. No pictures to speak of, the factory's plume inert at mid-day.

To Deas Island Regional Park. Along the shore-edge, past sunken cables, the rumble of seiners' engines offshore. A thick carpet of alder leaves on the trails, the trees' sharp, sweetish smell heavy in the air. Joggers, dog-walkers, two guys with clipboards discussing a real estate deal.

Inverted yellow leaves on the face of the scummy slough between the dyke and the parking lot.

Pale autumn sunlight coming and going across the playing field. Hurrying shadows.

An abandoned power mower, stalled in the grass.
