this guy*
I found this dude hanging out on the William and Mary campus the other day. He seemed to be enjoying the fall weather (as was I), and I assume that he was reflecting upon his own student days there, both as an undergrad and as a law student (whose law professor was Thomas Jefferson).
Or maybe he was thinking about that one time when he was the President of the United States, the way former presidents do.

still water
My friends and I went down to the water to see if the sunset was going to be worth photographing. (It was, as you may have already seen in a previous post.) While we waited for the sky to go out in a glorious flame of orange, we wandered around taking photos. You know, the way you do.

shower/stall
It was off season, so the door to the marina’s outdoor shower was nailed shut. For photographic purposes, all that meant was that I just stuck my camera over the top and made a few pictures. You know, the way I do.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I only do stuff like this if I am at least 100% certain that shower (or whatever I’m photographing) is unoccupied. It would be too weird otherwise. And also, probably illegal.

fascinators
As soon as I noticed that these statues had spiders on their head, it made me think of those posh British-y hats called “fascinators.”
According to my research, which took between one and two minutes, the proper placement of a fascinator is on the right side. So while I can give these statues partial credit for their effort at being fancy, I believe they ought to have been more conscientious about the placement.
Also, it’s probably just me, but when I picture St. Brendan, I tend to see him in golf attire.

terpsichore
One of the nine Greek muses, Terpsichore was responsible for lyric poetry and dance. And, in a modern sense, perhaps, she also covered drum-forward Scottish music played in a tent at a festival.
