Being twelve
My oldest grandchild, still a very much a kid, but beginning to push away,emerge, blossom as a young woman.
All the moods, the postures and awkward grace of adolescence come and go in a blink of an eye.

tiny jewels
Here is a surprise picture of the day. My muse called me to an amazing display of tiny jewels suspended in our resident spider webs. The heavy mist over the lake created these beautiful works. Kathy and I skipped breakfast and got to clicking. Hard to choose just one from an astonishing exhibit from Charlotte and her sisters.

IRENE-Report from Rhode island
Up early, checking out the scene in Narragansett. Big lazy waves rolled in with the fog, There was an air of expectation, but we all had jumped the gun. Too early, too anxious...
Will go back tonight and see if Irene is beginning to make her presence felt, pressing her violent wet body up against our shore.

Cormorant #3
We might call this "Reflection" or "Bird On The Boulder" or some such. I'd rather call this "Amazing," not the title mind you, but the technology involved in producing this image. I shot my favorite Coirmorant just 8 minutes ago from my deck, and imported to Lightroom for crop and minor adjustments, then out to this email. I have memories not too long ago of packaging film up and sending the rolls off to the lab for processing and proofing, first step, then when they are returned, flipping through paper proofs, making piles, choosing the best, and off again to the lab for printing final picture. Best case, two weeks via mail, probably longer. Furthermore, here we are 2011 and many eyes will see this within hours of my clicking the shutter, not just mine and my staff back in 1995. Wow, things have changed, and I do call this "amazing."

Gimpy legged Cormorant
This cormorant sat on my rock for over an hour. Been back many times, let's me get real close. He's got a gimpy left leg as evidenced by this shot. Not sure what to do.

Getting Stoned in Vermont
Kathy and I stopped in Mansfield, Vt on the way back from gathering stones for her sculpture exhibition. Here's some past work:
http://www.armorsculpture.com/Kathy_Sculpture/home.html
Many of the furnishing caught my eye, as did the spectacular garden and grounds. Some the rooms were quite dim, shot at ISO 800 and 1600. Added some grain in Lightroom, and many of the shoots are single image HDR a la Photomatrix. I've been once again playing with Final Cut and I have enough from this little self-imposed exercise to make some kind of a movie. Stay tuned...
