Randomly Stored In My Cellphone

I tried on my friend Steve's retro celydon eyeglasses at the diner. What I received was a unanimous "No. Those are not for you."

This is a $7500.00 red glass chandelier at Expo. The same form with clear glass is a steal at $3412.00... You've seen it. Now you don't have to buy it. April 2008.

Pleasant Valley

A new friend greets me (and departs quickly).

Soon these trees will be very full and loud with many insects and birds.

For now they are still serpentine, skeletal and looming.

Some of last year's high grasses still remain as new life reaches for the sun.

Cushioned with soft, sweet smelling bark chips and reddish dirt, the paths invite me.

New mud on old roots creates shelter for some wild things.

Some things fall, some things wither, other things must be cut...

Some things are cut in three by nature...

Other things know when to stay green and stand upright.

Just off the beaten path... A shallow grave?

Man made devices and designs interrupt the scenery at times.

The playing fields are quiet on this morning, but not for long.

No summer bugs today, just the errant spray of mist.

Sometimes bright things hide beneath the other things that end up getting more attention.

One last look for the morning... and I am on my way.

Beautiful Friday Morning

On the way to work. Stopped at an intersection to shoot this sunrise.

Stopped along the way to photograph a sign I had been meaning to document for ages now. I would hate to see this charming meat shop turned into a Starbucks without having documented it's vintage signage.

Surprise! Arrived at work to be given this gorgeous 1990 Pixies poster print (signed and dated by the artist). All this before 7 AM! It was a gift from "What's That On Your Head" girl and her mother as a thank you for making CDs for them. God I love them to death.
