Sometimes I take pictures of things. Sometimes I look out the window.

Oh maybe it is a tired subject
but I can't help it
I love the flowers
A photograph of white-petaled flowers. The flowers are coated with raindrops. The background is an out of focus mess of rich, green stems and leaves.

Back home from Kraków, but I already miss it

On a December evening in Kraków
A photograph of a chapel and a high metal fence. The fence covers the bottom half of the photograph, and it is covered in ivy. The slats of the fence are bent and sitting at odd angles. Beyond the fence sits the chapel, rising up into a dark sky and illuminated by spotlights on the ground, out of sight. At the very top of the chapel's roof is a simple cross.

Relics of pretending
A photograph of Japanese theater masks. They are displayed in a row in front of a deep blue curtain. Spotlights illuminate each masks' face, while the rest of the image is shadowy. From the left, the first mask is that of a man's face. His lips are pulled back as if in a slight grimace. The next mask is also of a man's face. His brow is furrowed, and his eyes are narrowed. The middle mask is of a woman's thin face. She is looking directly at the camera. Her red lips are turned upwards in a slight smile. The fourth mask is of another woman. Her face is slightly plump, and she stares ahead, also with a slight smile. The fifth and final mask is yet again of a woman's face. Her painted red lips betray no secrets as she too stares on smiling.

I was introduced to the work of Beata Zuba recently.
I will let the exhibit's presentation speak for itself.
A photograph of an exhibition of paintings. The paintings depict various snow covered mountains. The gallery is devoid of people and is halfway illuminated by the overcast day through a pair of skylights. The other half is nearly shrouded in darkness. At the very end of the gallery in the center of the photograph is a single red painting, also of a mountain.

Getting a funny feeling of anticipation, like when the sky is heavy with rain, ready to burst

for a moment it was beautiful #photography
The sunrise reflected on the dirty windows of a ferry terminal in Lower Manhattan. On the right side of the window the light is a bright orange and yellow flash of light behind a large yacht at dock. On the left is an advertisement for cocktail cruises.

Just another alley
A photograph of the backside of a building in an alleyway. The paint is a faded slate gray and peels in places. There is a satellite dish, an air conditioner on a rack, and some electrical wiring. Near the ground is a rusted grate and a utility meter. It's rather mundane.

Another older photo.
Taking off, I wonder where to?
A photograph of a group of 7 seabirds floating in the water. One of them is stretching its wings out, preparing to take flight. Another bird in front of it is already in the air.

Longing for the summer as winter looms
A picture of the sunset sinking between a palm tree and a pair of houses. There are rows of white fences in the foreground, and the sky above has lit up in a brilliant gradient from orange to a hazy blue. Even now, you can almost hear a gull crying.

the sparks and hope October brings,
achingly banished by November.
Vertical wide angle photograph of several trees captured against the illuminated sky. The trees are covered in orange / red leaves.

As surely as the rain fell, so too did our feet find the path. Though we could not see it then, we knew we must persist for what awaited us at the storm's break.
A picture of a cul-de-sac after a rainstorm. There is a bright streak of a rainbow above it, and the very faint part of a second rainbow even higher. The street is surrounded by tall, lush green trees, and only just enough sky shows through to reveal the rainbow. There are a few puddles in the street, and some pink flowers are in bloom. Take a deep breath, and remember that storms never last.

A sunrise behind the roofs of apartment buildings. The sky has puffy clouds feathered by a northwesterly wind

And so we kept moving, putting one muddy boot in front of the other. Try as they may, the tiresome leagues we marched could not bring us down.

One misty day in England...
A picture of the countryside on a misty day. The yellow fields are not quite obscured off in the distance, and in the foreground is a field of trim, green grass. There is a sign very close to the viewer sticking out of some tall grass. It reads "BEWARE, THIS VIEW WILL LIVE LONG IN THE MEMORY" Now it will live with you as well.

I think he gets to enjoy my garden more than I do
A photograph of a rabbit sitting in someone's garden. He is surveying the buffet of lush grasses growing all around him. Maybe the gardener doesn't have the heart to run him off.

As much as I adore the fall colors, I sometimes miss the spring.
Well, it will be back again all in due time
A photograph of a bright yellow flower. The insides of its petals are tinged with violet. It's surrounded by a few other flowers which are mostly out of focus. If you were a bee, this might be positively irresistible.

Since so many people are posting their lovely autumn photos
A photograph of a tree against the bright, sunny sky. The light shines gloriously through the multicolored leaves of red, orange, and green.

Looking through
A photograph of a train crossing a bridge over a river. The view is looking out from within a lush forest. Trees and shrubs are growing up all around, making a sort of window. I can almost hear the distant train horn now. A photograph of a stone room with an archway. Looking through the arch, you can see a park bench surrounded by lush grass. The stone is very old and weathered, like ancient bones in the earth. A photograph of the underside of a pier. The view looks out across the ocean to the horizon, through the supports of the pier. A tiny wave is cresting at the edge of the pale-green water. You can nearly feel your toes digging into the sand.

Every time I look at my pictures, I get to go back there for a moment
A picture of a cafe from the street. There are leaves growing on the trellis over the front door, and the white walls of the building are bathed in sunlight. The trees are just barely beginning to change colors. Is it nearly autumn?
