Friday: flower — still life?

November 5, 2010

The flowering plants have fallen over, wilted, dried, gone to seed. Very little green remains “outside” — only the pines and some grasses.

Weird Wednesday already?

October 27, 2010

Almost forgot about this new LUG tradition. Though Wayne Torry reminded me with his wonderful contribution. I always find it a bit weird when multiple media events vie for my attention. The more disharmonious — the more weird it seems. (click image for larger view) Leica M8, 28 mm Summicron Asph
