My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, coffee life, spirituality and asking deep questions.
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.
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.
On my walk this past weekend I found these bluebirds at the Little Blue Bird Bakeshop in Old Town.
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.
