museum, back room

I mean, sure – the museum did have some very good exhibits the other day.

But it also had a door that was left open and a photographer who will always try to see the behind-the-scene scenes.

line dry

I came home the other night and the evening light was right there on those clothespins. I hurried inside to get the camera…

Also, if I’m being honest, I’d never paid the tiniest bit of attention to that clothesline before. I have a tattoo on my wrist that says, “Take time to see.” yet I failed (repeatedly) to take my own damn advice. Seriously. This is embarrassing.

a spiral of ivy

It was hot that day. And for days and days before. And for days and days after. But that ivy was tenacious and continued to spiral its way up the metal grates.

I am not tenacious. So I got back in the car, cranked down the AC, and continued on my way.

donut city

That early Sunday morning, all the other patrons at Donut City were getting their breakfast to go, which meant that I had the dining room to myself.

And that meant that I had a nice start to the day photographing the place, including the reflection in the display case and also this colorful scene.

fisherman

I was dreaming of Sicily the other day when I was editing images. I mean, I’ve dreamt of Sicily every day since I got back, so that’s not really anything new. Anyway, that led me to prowl around my photos, both for nostalgic reasons and also to mine them for editing.

This portrait of a man fishing along the harbor in Palermo had been waiting on me to notice it; I appreciate its patience.
