all in all it’s just another brick

I know: it’s vandalism. And I’m supposed to not be in favor of it.

But damn…those colors…those lines…that shading.

as wine, the strongest heads

There are two hats hanging on a hook in the garage. To be honest, I am afraid of wearing either one of them: I think there are spiders or maybe these weird almost-clear geckos in them. And who even knows what else might be in there that I would prefer not to have on my head.

But I didn’t encounter anything dangerous when I made this photo.

one stitch holds it all

I have four or five vintage quilts; I don’t know the provenance of any of them, other than to say they are soft and old and lovely.

I like to think that this one stitch is the one holding the entire quilt together.

fireworks, stars, and trash

This was fun – we found a place out on the very edge of town where people congregated to shoot fireworks and we spent at least an hour out there watching all the fun. I took 805 photos, deleted all but 52 of them because they were (a) just dark empty sky; (b) blurry only not in a good way; or (c) stupid. And of those 52, I edited TWO of them.

So congratulations to this photo for beating some pretty tough odds. This one made the cut because it had a lot going on that told the story – lots of fireworks all at once, tail lights streaking by, headlights cutting through the smoke, fireworks trash in the parking lot, and a light sprinkling of stars.

sparklers

Is it considered stalking if you take 17 photos in a row of a trio of people posing for each other with sparklers?

There is, of course, no particular reason I am asking….
