the clarity of light

Sometimes images will just hang around on my computer for, say, 1,228 days between when I make them and when they emerge here.

I don’t really have an explanation, or an excuse. It’s just the way it worked out.

Here come some color images. Do not be frightened. Do not worry about me. It’s just that I am getting ready to travel to a colorful locale and am trying to practice.

The Virden town square was busy, full of preparations for the upcoming Fourth of July festivities, including the Miss Virden Queen Pageant. Sadly, I was not able to stay to watch the pageant. Maybe I’ll go back next year, now that I know about it, and stick around for the fun.

that upstairs window

Let’s see…what have we got here?

A old house that may or not be occupied. A few boarded up windows, a porch, a pair of bay windows, that mansard roof, dormers, and a creepy damn doll in the window.

vegetables in the home

Sunday mornings around the square are pretty quiet. I assumed that most of the townspeople were home making sure their gardens were well-kept, as directed by the sign on the planter.

(Note: none of the plants in that planter were vegetables. In case you were wondering.)
