Weekend Reflections

Tree Shadow

It's seldom the street is empty enough for a full-on shadow of a tree!

Whale Bones


Whales have been here
forever. Their flesh has fed the
people and been the occasion
for celebration and feasting.
Their bones have been made 
into tools and objects of status
and ceremonial importance.
The sighting of a whale still
thrills all who see it.
May it always be so!

Still Life with Gourds

Gourds on the windowsill. I love the way mono makes the textures pop.


I also had fun with some post-processing filters. This is pencil drawing applied to B/W version.

Pumpkin curls

I just love the little curlicue on the stem of this pumpkin, and the shadow it creates.

Reflecting on Rain

Yesterday was the first major rainfall here in over three months. So refreshing! and made for some great reflections.

Trainyard

I wonder how many Union Stations there are in the country? This one is in Portland, OR, with the Fremont and Broadway bridges behind. .

Unique yard art

And by "unique" I mean bizarre. That's Liza and my scooter wheel reflected in the mirror.

Two bees

I love the shadows from the bee and the flower stamens (?) -- they were a bonus!

Sunflower reflection



Weekend Reflections.  This is a processed reflection, which may be cheating a bit for this meme, but I love it so much I had to post it!  The sunflower and sky are unprocessed, though.

Shadow Bridge

The Nehalem River, running through the little town of Vernonia. Me, my shadow plus a few others on the bridge.
