A tree with yellow and orange leaves on the left, and on the right, a tree with red leaves. The trees are on opposite sides of a sidewalk, and there's honeysuckle with green leaves under the orange-leaved tree. There are shadows across the sidewalk, and the colors are brilliant in the late-afternoon sunlight.

Trees in the golden hour.

autumn's friend

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back!

Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary.

Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest!

#MundaneHalloween

My old phone. Does not know. Who I am. She searched through all its pictures, finding photos of a strange woman looking out. Scraggy haired with ring roads of worry circling her wide eyes. She put the device down. Picked up a book. Buried herself in its pages. Never to be found.

An example of pareidolia in a burn barrel. A ‘face’ emerges from the fire.

from twisting flames
a ‘face’ surfaces,
stirring sympathy

in the skylark’s winter song —

Clear sky with soft smoky rose tinted wafts of clouds and a dark silhouette of a naked tree

after rain
the ground exhaled
a rainbow

waiting for the sunrise
a snail falls asleep
on a red and green leaf

winter oranges
ghosts of forgotten summers
rising from my hands
