Almost five years later, I returned to the same place. It is the art laboratory of a large mental health institution. In the current image, I saw the "Counting Days" mural only as a mirror image. Five years earlier, I had taken a more direct picture of the same mural, as you can see here:

Today I went by a public garden in Palo Alto, Calif., not far from home. On most visits, I encounter this very friendly dude (or dudette). Apparently, it's a garden cat, likely living on the fruits of the garden. I hope there is a shelter in one of the maintenance houses, but who knows? Regardless, he/she seems quite healthy and is always photo-friendly. #classicnegative
This is Dubai Design District aka D3, a very photogenic place
On this particular day there was some (rare) cloud cover blocking the sun behind Burj Khalifa otherwise this would be impossible to expose properly :D
In downtown Menlo Park, Calif., tonight, I noted the "bike car" on our CalTrain line. CalTrain does a lot of advertising this time of year to encourage New Year's Eve partiers to take the train. Be safe out there. #classicnegative
.. architeXture in Mannheim .. the Black Friday Mekka of the planet .. hope you didn't break the bank for camera stuff .. happy Sunday :)
Every couple of months I visit the Elizabeth Gamble Historic Home and Garden in downtown Palo Alto, Calif. It’s always interesting to check out the seasonal plants and displays, with perhaps the hope I will learn something. On this afternoon’s trip, I encountered one of the local residents. He/She (pronoun unknown) was completely at ease around my camera, mostly ignoring me in order to focus on some prey. Shortly after I snapped this pic, she left her hiding spot, darted into some heavy brush and likely got her meal. #classicnegative
While driving a back road somewhere between Tennessee and North Carolina last week, I spotted this inviting spot in the creek just inside WNC.
I wish I'd set my camera to shoot RAW on that trip, so I could capture more of the beautiful colors here. I like the "Classic Negative" film simulation, but it's not always the best choice for landscapes. Lesson learned! Still, I think it's not a half-bad picture.

On today's walk, I encountered a neighborhood construction crew. I decided to take this pic as a reminder that I can't construct anything. I have zero talents in the home fix-it department, and the only thing I know how to do is put gloves on. Not certain why my wife married me.
I took a bunch of photos while back up in New England, but this morning scene from my final stroll yesterday was truly a gift from nature.
My post-lunch coffee today was at Philz, a small chain in California. Their specialty is making each cup of coffee to order and as a pour over. There’s not a coffee pot to be found. But, this means a bit of a wait for each individualized order. The coffee is so good that I did not mind. By the way, based on my unscientific demographic study of the customers, I am not the “target audience” for this particular experience. #classicneg
I was focusing on my favorite convenience store to photograph and I saw a biker coming into the frame and I decided to include him in the composition. I was really happy with the results even though the punctum of this photograph —what Roland Barthes defines as the aspect of an image that moves a viewer in a deep or emotional way— was intended to be the dimly lit Parklaine Variety sign.
This is the beauty of photography; one often arrives with a specific goal in mind but it is often the accidents or unplanned events that make an image stand out.
I've collected a few strawberries that the critters didn't eat from the plant our neighbors gave us when we moved in last summer.
I'm ready for Fall weather.
