Thursday Challenge: Summer


Summer in the desert -- hot enough to make one feel like this.

Bindweed and rust


Vining, twining Ipomoea trichocarpa -- all over Central Texas.

Illustration Friday: Rain


Click to see the detail, and to read if you'd like.
The song "It's Raining" was written by Naomi Neville; Irma Thomas' version is my favorite.

Nénuphars


Nénuphars once more, because Frank H. taught me a new word!

Self-Portrait Marathon (Not!)


After seeing Laura's comment, decided she was right.
What "not"? Why not?
Besides, it does look a bit like my hair.

Due to technical difficulties...

...we will resume our regular programming shortly.

One new powersupply?
Check.

One new battery?
Check.

One overnight charge?
Dagnabit!

One very very very impatient creative person?
Check, please!!!

The PowerBook, she is charging (we hope.)
Because I hate to disappoint, here's my placeholder post for the evening.

Laura:
While you're waiting, please see this photographer's site.

Dave:
Thanks for the empathy, and I do have some good 'uns for ya.

Trixi:
While you're waiting for me to go to Spain, sit quietly outside a little cafe, and catch just the right flirtatious wry flicker between two older folks, please see this photographer's site.

Trevor:
**snork**
Ahem. While you're waiting for something really radioactive from me, please see this artist's site.

Thanks to everyone for their chicken-soup-with-a-side-of-tequila-for-the-soul support.

Imagination

Imagine...

...a fresh photo here.


What would it be?
Do tell!

More pix to come, as soon as I get a new battery and powersupply for my PowerBook.

Meanwhile, please go look at this wonderful textile artist's work.

Met her today, and had a lovely chat.
Her work is freakin' awesome.

Storefront hibiscus


Had to sacrifice some vividness in the red to hold the texture on the petals. Wish you could have seen just how incandescent that red was.

Photo Friday: Poverty, or
"Mind-Forg'd Manacles"


The deepest poverty, in my opinion?

Blake's "mind-forg'd manacles" -- when creativity, curiosity and imagination fail to break free from the tyranny of limiting, limited ideas.

Liz, large


Walked down an alley near a train depot and saw Liz, larger than life (about 15 feet tall.)

Photo Friday: New


In an old town, on an old street, inside a worn old building...
a new air filter.
