Petosky Stone - Dana Falconberry

I know, I know, I've been missing around here a lot lately. I've got a few projects keeping me busy and haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately anyway. That being said, I've been listening to Dana Falconberry a lot this week. Enjoy it, and have a great weekend, will you?

Zola Jesus - Poor Animal

I've been listening to these folks a lot this week. I think one of the reasons I like them is that I have no idea what she's singing. That seems about right, this week. Happy weekend!

Williamsburg in B&W

You see I'm still making my way through pictures from Williamsburg. It seems a month ago when I was wearing a light coat in spring-like weather. So pretty.

I've been a bad blogger these days. Would you believe I'm still making my way through pictures of Willaimsburg? Yes, you would. But meanwhile, this weekend I had one of my old walks through the neighborhood and saw some neat stuff, mushrooms and broken glass, and yes, a few mushrooms too. And my Lenten Rose is already blooming, though the weather guy says to expect Winter tomorrow. I also took out the non-digital SLR my brother-in-law so generously gave me. It's funny, how spoiled we are with DSLRs, how you can decide in any given situation what speed and exposure you want then and there, but when you have 400 speed film, you have 400 speed film. Still, it's fun to test your training, don't you think?

Colonial Williamsburg II

It's curious, how easily you can be transported to another time and place. Walking around Williamsburg, it's easy to develop romantic notions about what it must have been like to stop at the bakery for good bread, the stationers for writing paper, the butcher for a fine cut of beef for dinner, and the cobbler to order a new pair of shoes. I suppose if I didn't know about Zappos and Amazon, it might be easier to sustain that romance. But still, visiting with the tailor in the milliner's shop was a rather convincing argument. His spot-on accent, attire and manners, showing me every garment he'd sewn by hand couldn't have been a more perfect picture of life in 1760.  And frankly, I was eyeing his cut-away coat for myself.

Colonial Williamsburg

I visited Colonial Williamsburg over a long weekend. It was remarkable. I will share a few things about it over the next few days, but only want to say right now that what we have come to know as our country was, for quite a long time, not yet a country. It was an idea, a thing in the making based on some radical ideas. Ideas that people were willing to fight and die for, that freedom is never free.

Crystalised - XX

You know, I may have posted this one before, but it feels right today. I like the slow, steady tempo and the soft voices.

Happy weekend!

Ice

One of my favorite things about winter is ice. I get mesmerized by the filigree designs on windows, the icicles that hang from rocks cliffs, and the way streams form a layer of glass over moving water. It's all rather pretty, isn't it?

The Kooks - Junk Of The Heart

Winter has finally arrived in Central Ohio. And I drive a little car that likes to do fishtails all over the place. I'm glad when I don't have a passenger, I would have to have them pretend they are on a amusement park ride, throw their arms in the air and scream the whole ride. Hmm, they might be doing that anyway. Happy weekend!
