and across the way, the city wakes up

Here’s another image from our early-morning photo expedition to the Malecon – this view is looking west across the bay to downtown Havana.

a hint of a rainbow

Early morning in Havana, with a tiny sliver of a rainbow. Those clouds were moving toward us and shortly we had to make a dash to shelter when the rain came.

window-washing day had not yet arrived

I thought what I wanted was for the curtains to be in focus.

The camera thought what it wanted was for the paint drips and dirt on the window to be in focus.

Turns out the camera was right. Sometimes that happens.

knotted curtains

I drove all the way from Lubbock to Hobbs so I could take this photo.

(I also ate some delicious posole for lunch and did a little shopping. Oh, I looked at the annular eclipse.)

melanie, twice

I have a tiny little side hustle as a kind-of regular speaker at a couple of civic groups here in town. I know – it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, either. But they keep asking me back. (Apparently the good speakers in town are already booked on Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon so it’s come down to me.)

A few days ago, I did a presentation on last year’s trip to Cuba and I took the opportunity of putting that together to edit a few images that I didn’t get to last year.

This diptych of the dancer name Melanie were in the new edits. And since I also have a daily post thing to do, I decided to utilize them here as well.
