About 9:30am a pair of fawns, largish but still spotted, bounced out of the long grass to gambol about near the house on the mowed grass. Moments later, Mom appeared, moving more deliberately and cautiously. She followed approximately the same route, drifting west, and not stopping for more than a listen or a nibble. Her flanks were sleek and reddish-tawny.

I’m digging into the history of some of Rome’s churches, discovering crazy details, assuming that the Internet does not purvey lies.
You got the sarcasm about the accuracy, right?

The sunset sky was a gorgeous orange trending to pink. I promise you that I have not adjusted the light-color at all on this painting—this is exactly the hue MaNachur (apologies for repetition from yesterday) delivered for about twenty stunning minutes.
LATER. Oops, silly me. It’s not a boat on the rocks, it’s a walrus hunt across the entire piece, and this is a close-up of the sled, and part of the team of harnessed dogs preparing to pull the sled over ice chunks. Sheesh and oh boy did I not look at what was right in front of me…. Long day. Different time zone.

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.

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….
