Musings

Step on it!

Two possible interpretations: 1) it’s a stepping stone; or 2) it’s almost 2025, just one more month to go, and let’s hurry.

Clearly, I’m no comedy writer.

Lucky me

I went out for a quick walk late afternoon and found these dogwood leaves posing in the brilliant sunshine.

Kitty n bow-tie

A cat and her toys; she didn’t play with any of them while we were there.

LSS

I present (household) infrastructure in recognition of today’s early-voting (very institutional, and supporting of infrastructure). Runoff election: one person/office. I think there were eight officials ready to check us in, and more by the voting booths/ballot machines…and no other voters besides the two of us.

As I moved along, I discussed T-giving plans and cooking obligations with the ladies. I thought the best story was from the voting machine attendant who said she had seven sisters and they were doing everything but the institutional-sized container of mac-cheese she was making/bringing.

LSS = long story short (intended sarcastically)

Building (a)symmetry

Speaking of perspective and lens gyrations (see yesterday), how to crop? Follow horizontals (as I did), or align to verticals? Or, be a renegade and do neither, resulting in crazy angles everywhere. Whew.

Lens…pairing

Sometimes, I am annoyed that wide angle comes with keystoning. BTW, look at the cloud shape variation!

Street tea

We walked around the corner to a coffee shop and I had an artistic matcha latte…

…sitting in the sunshine by the sidewalk under autumn leaves.

Rosy glow (no rose or rows)

I do love it when the camellias emerge in the cold season…or the kind of cold season we get here in ATL.

Composition, bae-bee

Something about the pallets and the diamonds of light made this for me. And the pipe. And the scrolls in the chair backs. Plus the shade of blue of the wall and the horizontals of the bricks. Also, the messiness of the detritus on the painted concrete below. There ya go.

Fruity

Nothing quite looks like a rambutan…with those aesthetic spinterns in a variety of greenish and rosy hues.
