Paul Dorpat, neighborhood historian and itinerant photographer sent in a couple of beautiful shots from around the neighborhood to share:

In the fall – well all year long really – I refer to the trees along 44th between Burke and Wallingford as the “Flame Trees” and I have snapped them many times over the last four autumns.  The same is so for the Good Shepherd P-Patch.  The detail with the sophisticated rock path leading to two chairs and a table set with a rock may be captioned “Go Zen, Come Meditate.” The Flame Trees were photographed Monday Oct, 19, this year and the rock the afternoon before.  I don’t know the runner, but he was kind enough to dodge around me.

On reflection, he sent a second note suggesting that the pair of photos might best be titled “Go Run or Go Zen”. Consider them so titled.
