Mr. Toad's

State Fair, 2006. Unfortunately, overexposed, however I rather like it that way. As if the passengers are flying above the tent tops, the street lamps, suspended in a happier time.

It's what's for dinner

When I was assigned to the Western part of the state, as previously mentioned in prior installments of this irregular online periodical, I took a photo and "posterized" it in GIMP. Kinda liked the effect.

Looking ahead

I wonder what lies ahead in 2010. The days go so quickly now, running alongside the years. This is Diana's finger. And her pointer. (the dog AND the finger, ha ha). I used to ravenously read and read Greek mythology in elementary school. I knew exactly who had sprung from whose head, and who they poisoned later with the help of what beast after having fathered how many children with which water sprite. Sadly this reading time has now been replaced with highly technical jargonese that is nowhere as entertaining. Yes I know Diana is Roman.

Goodbye, 2009

famous American estate, western part of the state

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Cherub at sunset

The dew on the lawn in front of the home where I stay is chilly in the early mornings now.

Dandelion Wine

I've been sent out to the Western part of the state for part of my training. There is a large estate here with beautiful grounds that was built by the young scion of a wealthy American family over a century ago. It's been a lovely place to visit.

I arrived at the last note of summer. These were the only blooms on a mile long stretch of wilted sunflowers.
