chance encounters with color

The results of an impromptu walk around my neighborhood. I have to admit, I got a bit lost. Many hours later, my feet still hurt. But it was worth it, I think. 😉
through the looking glass(es)

Today I was a bit housebound with various projects. Still, the sunlit landscape called to me on many an occasion. As I have written before I am lucky to live in an old house well-kept in its old style with many windows of ancient rippled glass on all sides, some of which are double and even triple paned. It is both exhilarating and calming to move from pane to pane, over time, and try to capture an ever-shifting beauty from sunrise to sunset.
when art and science collide

I am constantly reminded that there is a time and place for everything. For several years now, I have noticed and had access to the glass cylinder sitting on top of my science guy’s bookcase. But for the first time, today I photographed it. You see, he bumped the bookcase this morning, knocking the cylinder to the floor. It was a close call but luckily it hit the carpeted part.
A Galileo thermometer. Read more here. A gift from family. He tried to replace it on top of the shelf, but the morning sunlight hit it and that was that. I gently took it from his hand. At his quizzical look, I said, “I’ll be careful. Promise.”
And so far, I have been. 😉
Dead Tree, Beautiful

One day, the landlord will have to cut down this tree before a strong wind blows it down on top of the house, a car or a person. Branches have already begun to break loose and litter the ground. But for now it stands tall, if a bit rickety, creating great beauty in its silhouette. I took this photo through the sheer cotton curtains covering the kitchen window.
