Out with the Old…
Another Distressed Surface
I feel a growing affinity for the flaking, rusting things of this world. They have the dignity of perseverance, even as they crumble.
Pensive
Bob in repose.
Juniper
These look almost good enough to eat. Are they juniper berries? I gather that those get used to flavor gin… is that right?
Star of Wonder
Appropriately enough, this sigil was emblazoned on the paved terrace outside my church this Sunday morning.
Jewels in the Rain
The pattern of Fall and Winter so far has been: one day of sun, five days of miserable precipitation. Accordingly, today was unremittingly foggy and drizzly. Undaunted, I went forth in search of my daily quantum of beauty. And here it is.
Merry Christmas
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season with friends and family. Peace on earth, goodwill to all!
Continuing with Gaga
A stroll this afternoon presented a vast array of photographic challenges: high contrast snow and glare, piercing blue skies, and chilly temperatures. Yet I took at least a dozen pictures I’m happy with. Check out the faithful rendition of the irridescent oxidation on the chair back here. New camera: YAY!
My New Joy-Toy
So there I was, at National Airport, to collect my holiday visitor. I had some time to kill before his plane arrived, and ~ whaddaya know ~ I just happened to have acquired a new camera the day before. I spent a happy half an hour wandering around the terminal, beginning to learn how to use it. What fun! Big, luscious images to work with, an expanded gamut, what a treat!
Snowpocalypse
The snow was a pretty substantial inconvenience for everybody, but it’s both lovely and fascinating from several miles up. Photo courtesy of NASA.
