    You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut. Dr. Suess

    Yes, I’m a morning person. But, I have three children and four grandchildren who are not. Their loss.

    It Was a Scorcher

    January 3, 2016
    Shadows are following you
    Shadows are following you

    The temperature rose above 40 degrees yesterday. After more than a week of high temperatures below freezing and nighttime temperatures in the single digits, people were out without jackets, riding bicycles and spending Christmas gift certificates. I just happened to be out on the streets of Old Town with my X-E1 and the 27mm lens. People casting shadows are what I found.

    Lights in Old Town

    Spent time in Old Town area for a ĺook at the lights. My hands were cold by the time I returned home. But, made a hot chocolate as the images downloaded. All is good.

    Tremble Court

    October 6, 2015

    Passing Through Tremble Court
    Passing Through Tremble Court

    Tremble Court is a small store in the Old Town Square. Three walkways meet at the store’s front door, one  being an alley. As I was walking through Tremble Court towards the square I noticed this woman walking towards the court from the alley. I walked past the three way intersection while composing an image in my head. I then stopped and turned to wait for her to pass through. She is coming from the direction of a homeless shelter and with her heavy bags I assumed her to be homeless. I took two images as she walked by. She was carrying what I assume to be all she had. Her body is stooped over due to a bad back, heavy bags or both.  When I see homeless people who only own what’s on their back it causes me to realize all that I have.

    A Bus Ride

    Sunrise Glowing off Proper Road

    It’s easy for me to catch the bus from my condo, just a 3 minute walk. The bus system provides access to most of town but it may require transferring buses. This image was made while waiting for the first bus of the day.
