light my way so i get this right
Maybe my quick trip out of town the other day seemed silly, or selfish, or just plain confusing. I’m not saying it wasn’t any of those things, but on the other hand, it sort of feels like I went all that way to see this pink-haired mannequin in a store window…and it was worth the drive.

the night reflection
I think I’m figuring out the technique of using puddles and reflections…
It was very dark in the puddly vacant lot and I wasn’t even real sure what I was going to end up with. What I like is that the night, the reflections, and the puddles worked together to turn an extremely ordinary setting into something that’s unexpected.
And just as I was walking back to the place where I was staying it started raining. The rain, which brought its friends thunder and lightning, lasted nearly all night. I slept very, very well.

“delicous”
No, indeed there IS nothing like eating a delicious ear of corn. And maybe I’m just letting my inner copy editor have too much control, but I can’t help but point out that the sign maker did not spell delicious the conventional way. Maybe spelling’s just a silly construct?

addendum
Here’s what happens when you get someone with a piece of cardboard, a marker, and some big opinions.
I don’t know why the year that LL Bean was established was redacted on the mural. If I had a marker and the opportunity, I’d add 1912 over the redaction board (a term I just made up) just so passersby had complete information.

one way
It’s the end of the month, so I figure it’s time to move on from nighttime photos of Portland. I don’t know what I’ll post next. Maybe Portland in the daytime? Or Portland in the fog? Or Portland with daytime fog?
There are so very many possibilities.
