The claw-like leaves of a palm leaf with the sun's rays shining through.
In my parents’ yard. They live in South Florida, which was home to me for many years.

The evening breeze
Stems of long grass flutter in the cool evening wind.
One of my most favorite photos. Not sure why it’s not one of my more popular at Flickr, but I like it. A LOT. Taken in North Bethesda, MD, in our community.
Life, as I want to know it
Early morning just outside a forest near Natural Bridge, VA.
Lobotomized for shopping pleasure
A statuette resembling Aphrodite or Athena, with the top of the head lopped off. Quite common these days, possibly signifying the loss of judgment that is needed when one is to enjoy all that the world has to offer.
Photos back in the site feed
A few weeks ago, I took my Flickr photos out of the site feed [reference]. Last night, I put them back in. Turns out taking them out cut their views by about 60-80%. That taught me two things:
- Showed me how few of the hundreds of people who’ve added me as a contact at Flickr actually care about viewing my photos, which was an interesting realization.
- Sometimes the desire to keep things organized and neat is trumped by convenience and practicality. Keeping my photos in the feed allows them to be viewed by more people, and for me at least, it’s no fun to share photos if no one looks at them.
The photos are back in the feed for now. We’ll see how long FeedBurner continues to offer the option to do this, or if they improve it to allow daily photo summaries, as they’ve been asked to do by others (including me). FeedBurner’s site has gone strangely silent lately (after their acquisition by Google), and I’m not sure how long they’ll stay in their current iteration. But don’t let that concern you.
Enjoy the photos!
