Musings

Sometimes when Mother Nature’s light comes across the landscape—or the dinner table—flat, so horizontal it’s imitating the horizon, the mundane takes on a different dimension.

If that makes sense.

Sunshine can be intoxicating.

From the other day….

If you found this an a bunch of other giant rocks, you’d call the area Rocktown, wouldn’t you?

And so it is.

Love outdoor statuary you can walk right up to. Thank you, Booth Museum.

Several times I’ve heard people compare the net-neutrality issue to a highway with express toll lanes (if I have it right).

I think the public library (here, anyway) makes a better comparison. Either you have a card—and access—or you don’t. There may be non-kid materials, but otherwise…you have access.

Of course, I just discovered the other week that the NYTimes has “premium” content you have to pay extra for. They’ve gone for the tiered thing…the best of capitalism in action!??

I’ve been wanting to try Waterlogue again. I didn’t have anything good for this from today, so this is a Florida sunset photo from our recent trip. I’m liking this better than previous efforts….

We walked over to and through the Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park. We dodged the masses by taking the sidewalks we normally take, along which signs ordered us to give priority to festival golf-carts, while most people were clogging the ex-streets where the booths reigned.

All that time in the park, and all that hubbub…and I took zero photos. This is my fave from the en-route portion of our walk….

I experimented with That Lens Thingy again. I love these dots on this Gail-cup. Punctates I’d consider calling them, if I were in an archaeology lab. Or maybe not, since the vessel is glazed.

Is punctation situational?

Backnote: I’ve been looking at (drawings of) Copper, etc., Age pottery from I guess you’d call it Southeastern Europe lately. More tall vessels than I’d expect.

Okay, one more Chihuly. This one portable, that is, for sale. I think about $8K.

From our Seattle trip last month (Chihuly ceiling).

Just didn’t sleep quite right last night. Got enough sleep, ultimately, I’d say. Yet, I never quite got to an everyday equilibrium. Still, it was better (as the ancient joke goes) than the alternative!

And I kinda dragged my tail all day. Yawn.
