At the moment he's in the garage working on some other gift.
Downpours all day yesterday as predicted. The diocesan meeting was fantastic. And I was able to shoot this non-traditional side view of the Capitol dome with the eagle in profile, from a special vantage I know.
After the meeting we went to the Currier Art Gallery in Manchester to see the new exhibit, a collection of drawings and prints. All centuries and styles, from Durer, Rembrandt, Piranesi, Roualt, Daumier, Hopper, Kuhn, and so on, to our fave Aponovich, our state's artist laureate. All the engravings and mezzotints got me thinking about black & white photography, which used to be a speciality of mine. And then last night seeing Ansel Adams's work on NH guy Ken Burns's National Parks documentary was even more inspiring.
I'm sort of advance-planning to create a series of b&w pictures while we're in London and Antwerp.
But today I'm all about the colours. Because they're everywhere I look.
Ornamental cherry at the church door.
Reflection in the river.
A dirt road in our neighbourhood.
On the town line.
Lots going on and lots of writing getting done, too, and lots more celebrating to come. The sun is out, and I have an excursion this afternoon, so maybe I'll capture some "sunny day" views of pretty trees.
Thanks for stopping by to stroll. If you want to see other people's local colours, head for Aisling's blog.
