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

you know you're licked before you begin

Photographic pluses: not many, I was rather hurried. Nice black and white-ness?

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.

always unchanged

I just discovered that the focus can be moved around on my fancy camera, and it is amazing! I am going crazy. 

Photographic pluses: vibrant colors, interesting angle and focus.

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

always hushed up

Photographic pluses: the details are sharp, the light soft and the colors vibrant

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

love is to receive a glimpse

It looks like the gateway to heaven, doesn't it? 

Photographic pluses: the light and colors are soft and the composition is interesting.

No school today since exams are over. I went on rather a photo binge, so I'm going to post all my favorites. 

Endless grass. It holds an inexplicable appeal.

A lovely wall.

I named him Lionel.

Pretty benches.

Divinity. 

I love pictures and warm sunniness and no school and being outside and days like today.

which you yet know not of

Free at last! 

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