Symbols
This one is a partial nod to my brother-from-another-mother PTC. I love these graphic, cryptic marks too.
Tropical Shadows
The colder and grayer it gets, the more valuable the sight of yellow light and new greenery becomes. I caught this whiff of equatorial climes by The Pool at Harrah’s in AC.
Looking Up
Stained glass dome over the lobby entrance at Harrah’s in Atlantic City.
Not In Use
Metal, brick, ivy: a classic combination.
A Visitor Arrives
What could be more beautiful?
End of the Ice Age
You’d never find evidence of global warming in my freezer. Well, maybe today there was some man-made global warming. I spend the better part of 14 hours defrosting my freezer.
“Defrosting.” Pff. AS IF.
Deglaciering, more like. I estimate I removed 60 lbs. of ice, most of it 6 or 7 inches thick. No exaggeration. At one point I thought I was going to get crushed by a huge slab I levered off the sides but was unprepared to carry or move (especially as there were also two trays of boiling water underneath). There are still some iceberg-sized chunks melting in my bathtub.
So believe me when I tell you the most beautiful thing I saw today was the back wall of the freezer compartment.
Desert Landscape
There’s a whole world of abstraction at our feet.
No Idea Why
Do not ask me why I like this pipe and the bollards. I have no idea. They just entertain me, somehow.
