cold steel
Driving back from a walk along the river this evening the setting sun looked warmer than the weather. I can’t even tell you what this piece of equipment is for – and I know farms.

first shot of the day
I remember really wanting a cup of tea. My first morning back in town, and on such a chilly morning I hoped a cuppa would keep my other hand warm while we walked along. The day, through the dampness and cold, turned out to be full of wonder and shared beauty.
Don’t know what kind of plant this is, but up close and with a little of the day’s rain I liked it.

ISO 400 at… dunno, was early and I wanted tea…
Thanks D!
Just today Dennis loaned me his fantastic Canon 75-300mm IS lens. A few shots tonight to become accustomed to the lens and I hope to be posting photos taken through this borrowed glass soon. Many thanks Dennis!
Thanks for the comments y’all – nothing like a few good comments to help frame up the next shot.
brassy
Old marble, light through a door, and a cool old brass cover over the radiator. I’ve walked past this every morning without noticing. For you who would have noticed, long before I saw it.

prophecies
Near Camp’s Bay, just outside of Cape Town, South Africa, I took this shot while leaning out over a top-floor balcony railing of this cake/drinks place right down on the water. We’d gone to celebrate the end of a training workshop and the beginning of video archiving work for what became the Community Video Education Trust website.
The moon was rising over the Twelve Apostles (the twelve peaks stretching out behind Table Mountain) and I caught sight of Luna just as she was coming out of the thick fog – before too long, the same fog was drifting across the mountains, over us, and down to the water.
I don’t remember camera settings – are you kiddin’ me? Like three years ago – over a few glasses of wine. Camera settings…

Gassed
I live a bit out from town, just at the last stop on the bus route. At the end of my street it’s cornfields and horse farms; I like that. Down from me, between here and the next town to the east, there’s a guy who’s decided to rebuild a 1950s gas station. Set off the road a bit, back in the trees, the whole thing is easy to miss. He has the automobiles to match (in the garage for the winter), gas pumps, signs, and the entire gas station. He even has an Airstream trailer from 1958. I’ve stopped a few times to talk to him – he loves the collection, not the value. I like people who add a little unexplained wonder.
Here, in tonight’s snowstorm, is his station.

glasslight
Trying to remember settings from the camera on this one… I was a little distracted by a red scarf. I just don’t write this stuff down when I’m on the road. A good guess: ISO 400 with about a 5 second exposure.

keeping watch
At least the days here are getting a tad longer. I wonder if I still have to obey the sign…

missing story
Snapped not far from the Alamo, I’d love to know the story of this gentleman. He was sitting just outside a church, dressed nicely. Church was still in. I’ll make up a story one day to go along with the picture.

too cold
Here in lovely mid-Michigan it’s 8. I wish I was telling the time, but that’s the temperature outside right now. We may warm right up to about 10, but with the wind… I don’t know if I’m going to venture out for a new shot today. Maybe.
The shot below was taken on one of my many trips to the Upper Peninsula here in Michigan. The trails and rivers are so beautiful for getting outdoors up there – when it’s warm. I was taking a shortcut down a back road when I noticed this truck. The photo was taken with an old Sony Cybershot camera.
