I pretty much took this blind, leaning out the window over the fire escape and pointing my camera sideways, but I like how it came out.

This lily is flowering on my kitchen windowledge. I couldn't decide which of the 3 shots I preferred so I put them together.
Long ago, this was a studio where I painted and drank coffee from early in the mornings until late in the afternoons. When evening arrived, I strolled down to the Cozy Inn and talked with the workers of the world. It was a good time.
husband suspects it's in its death throes because i never water it. i maintain it's pretty satisfied or it wouldn't bloom like that.

When I was still a
Smoker, I'd endlessly drop
Cigarettes in holes.
Now that I have quit,
I just photograph the hole
And write bad haikus.
(FYI, re: smoking, it has now been over 25 months...)
Falling Snow
See the pretty snowflakes
Falling from the sky.
On the walk and housetops
Soft and thick they lie.
On the windowledges
On the branches bare:
Now how fast they gather,
Filling all the air.
Look into the garden,
Where the grass was green;
Covered by the snowflakes,
Not a blade is seen.
Now the bare black bushes
All look soft and white,
Every twig is laden -
What a pretty sight!

Close-up of the hindquarters of a (appr.) 250 million years old Sahara trilobite sitting under an small bell glass container in my windowledge. Fossils of trilobites ('Butterflies of the Sea') were found as large as 78 cm. This specimen is not much larger than 7 cm. These hindquartes must me less than 4 cm.
A friend of mine works in Cincinnati and got me into her building to take some photos of the city. Her cell phone holder looks like a big paperclip, and I tried to position it to look like it was grabbing buildings. It didn't work out very well, but this shot is cool anyway.

Antirrhinums on the half-landing windowledge.
I did cut some for the house, if only to encourage a further lot of bloom! They last extremely well in water.
The last occupant of our cabin left behind a bit of transitory art for us. I left it as it was, imagining it was some kid's treasure picked up at a lake, or out hiking. Far be it from me to mess with a kids' found objects. But I did take the picture.
Another one of my favourite insects. When I was doing my fieldwork in Slovakia for my Master's degree, I used to have damselflies come and settle on the windowledge of my room. They used to sit for hours just looking in with their slightly boss-eyes. I used to feel sorry for them, I mean, they don't live forever yet they wanted to spend their time watching me type up my thesis. Love 'em!
This is the window ledge in the kitchen where Grog our frinedly gargoyle keeps watch with the plants and incense holder. He was a gift from my ex :)

This was a reeeally unsafe window ledge, leading out to a fire escape, that I proceeded to lean out of to take photos :)
