over your sad empty town

Rosie. 

She's a ham too, just like Oliver. But she is beautiful, not fat. Though I suppose Ollie is beautiful in his own way. I think I would put him more in the cute category. Rose goes in the beautiful one. Sister love:)

Photographic pluses: soft light and colors, interesting composition. I should go more in-depth with these, shouldn't I? Ok: the colors are all bordering on neutral, with lots of blue. The light is bright and warm, but it's still soft and matches the colors. The way the door is in the picture, at an angle, and Rose's face is big and close are all nice. WOW, look at what I can say!

But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town

    -Taylor Swift, "Dear John"

yes you're lovely

This is Oliver. Remember? The ham.

Photographic pluses: interesting colors, bright, warm light (wow, really?) and a very cute, sleepy, fat cat.

just visit now and then

Two mediocres make a good, right? Maybe....

My hair. And it's favorite flower clip.

Photographic pluses: warm light, happy colors

Water bottle! Look at my porch, one day it will be done and it isn't just a hole in the ground anymore, it actually looks POSSIBLE.

Photographic pluses: interesting empty space, warm, bright light

harmony of thought and word and deed

Pansies in the window-box. 

Photographic pluses: the colors are vibrant, and the reflection through the window is interesting

i pray you know me when we meet again

Me again. I'm starting to feel rather self indulgent, but grass and old boxes edited up to look interesting are never quite as good as a real person. And everyone else is busy. Alas. 

Photographic pluses: excellent contrast, warm light (big surprise), nice composition

which you yet know not of

Free at last! 

Photographic pluses: soft light, soft colors, interesting angle and happy face!

je deteste les examens

Taken on my macbook during PE.... not one of my better days, but hey, exams are over tomorrow!

Photographic pluses: warm light, happy me:)

what we were dreaming of

C'est moi!

Photographic pluses: the contrast is sharp, the light soft and melancholy, the framing simple.

you'll never have to be alone

Photographic pluses: I took it from down low, so the bookshelves fill the whole frame. Rose is looking up, and she looks excited. The light is warm and bright.

better stop before it goes too far

Photographic pluses: the light is warm, and it creates a beautiful silhouette. 

to grab pieces as they speed by

Photographic pluses: The colors are strong, and the reflections and overlaps add dimension.

no greater joy

This is Rose. 

Photographic pluses: The frame is filled with her face, and her expression is not posed. The colors are warm and light.

intended to teach us

This is Oliver. 

My mother considers him chronically obese, but I think he is just on the rotund side. He is a fascinating cat, who enjoys sleeping under stools and lying upside down, has fur on the bottom of his paws, which he frequently slips and slides on, and allows my sister to put doll clothes on him. 

The photographic pluses:

Nothing but the rug shows, so it looks uninterrupted. The green eyes are very clear and rich with color.

glimpse of the blaze

My brother. While playing the Wii. It makes him rather cantankerous.
