To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Leaving the Mountain
Spent some time this week up on the mountain. The rhododendrons are starting to show, and boy are they beautiful. First the white, then the pink, and finally the deep reds will be coming into full flower -- the same sequence as the azaleas. Funny that!
Looking out across the peaceful valley.
And look at what my neighbor has got this year.
For some reason "She Who Must Not Be Named" insisted that we leave all this beauty and return to the city -- something about fulfilling social commitments. We will be back though, soon..., hopefully in time to catch the dark red blooms. They're the spectacular ones.
