Friday morning. Cameras still in the car from last outing. Stroll out to the car. Grab the two bags. Walk around the flower beds. Surprised at how many blooms have shriveled\u00a0into old age; a bit saddened as I consider how\u00a0short lived their beauty\u2026 too much allegory to recent events\u2026 for my heart mind. I don’t even remember what lens is on the M. My mood brightens as the blooming vines on the\u00a0pergola come into view. Reach into the bag. Oh yes. I remember putting the 50 Summilux-R on the M. Didn’t make an exposure since doing so several days ago. This vintage lens will\u00a0draw softly. Perfect for the melancholy I felt a moment ago.\u00a0Added two chrome OUFRO rings to get in close. Expose two frames. One each of two different specimens. And I feel complete after a\u00a0third exposure from the window box on the garage; just outside the rear, side door; just before walking back in to the house\u2026 to my home roasted coffee\u2026 to the computer\u2026 to share these words and pictures. Good morning. Happy Friday.<\/p>\n
