February 17 - Adventurous Panoramas Amidst Mountains


Down to DVC,


the warm sun at our backs, 


open to the world,


supreme pleasures,


through Franklin Canyon's flowery bowers and piercing blue skies,


errands and lunch,


working


on


music


in the DVC lab to the sound of a lovely vibraphone quartet (in the hallway adjacent!),


homeward


for


a


hike


with


Harriet


in


Lagoon Valley


Park


 from the southern entrance,


north to a miniscule bridge (connecting up with a walk some time ago),


where


water


warblers and


other visitors have much to say.

 
Reversing


course,



we


backtrack


to


point


of


origin,


taking


Rivera Road towards the 


North


Lagoons,


wending our way 


to


Joe's Creekside Cafe


for an al fresco happy session,


then back to the residence, in counterpoint with Bernard Herrmann's Jane Eyre (1944, Orson Welles) score, to compose more Decameron - Third Day: VIII (page 27), finish score study of the Benjamin Britten Phantasy introduction, and send out parts of same.
