Three years. How is that even possible? Suspended as I am right now at a moment of the greatest flux, when all the basics of my life are changing but not yet changed, this blog swings on—a steady little metronome, back and forth, reliably ticking the days. Looking back year over year, I am profoundly…

I’m going to be away for most of this week. I’m not taking a computer with me, and I expect to be essentially incommunicado until my return. I hope I’ll have a whole passel of photographs to share with you then. A Year Ago: Garden Passage The old mansions here in DC that have been…

My sister is visiting for the week. There may be intervals of no posts. My apologies in advance. A Year Ago: Oncoming It’s one of those trite observations which old people emit that cause young people to roll their eyes… [read more]

I’ve now updated the Gallery to include the Florida pictures. You all do know that you can click on most pictures in a post to see them larger, right? (I believe the technical term is “embiggen.”) The ones I like end up in the Gallery. I’m also in the process of redoing the Gallery so…

I’ve been so preoccupied with the launch of Quellebelle, that coming up with new material for this blog has been challenge. To help myself through this period, I’ve decided to sign up for Reverb10, as a way of providing some prompts. I can’t promise I’ll be entirely faithful or literal, but it’ll give me a…
