Che colori però...

I got three nifty new lenses from photojojo. I think the founder has leukemia, so it's a good time to buy something. Or donate. The macro lens is a prize, truly.

I say "or donate," but I'm having trouble donating to everything: friends and kickstarters, three of them, have gotten more than a hundred bucks from me in the last year—before I even had a job; two radio stations got money from me; the homeless guy on Northern Parkway gets me every so often (I'm going to start giving him Medifast bars, though); work gets me, too—with Jeans Passes for the American Heart Association.

And pretty soon, I might be asking for money yet again. I just got a poetry chapbook accepted for publication, and pre-pub sales will start soon. That's how they know how many to print.

But buying something—that's good for everyone, right? Everyone gets the prize. Everyone feels good. Well, better. The economy perks up a little.

Eh, what do I know? Here be a leaf. It's my true beleaf system.

It's grey and rainy at the moment, but this was taken a couple of weeks ago when it was still sunny.

Leaves were still turning

i'm doing some in depth study about leaf textures and patterns. this is the 6th and final one in the series! it's been a great learning experience to see the leaves in a different view.
