An owl waits outside a cafe window in Bath hoping for some free food! Not really, it's a metallic owl although on a window ledge seems an odd place to find it.

The neighbour's cat visiting us again ;)
He was meowing behind our door & he is still here, now sleeping in our bed.
He is such a character, we are very fond of him.
It is the International Women's Day today, have a happy day all you great women :)

Well then. It was cloudy every night all week, until yesterday. I cloud-watched for two hours and then around midnight it cleared almost entirely. A few minutes hunting with binoculars picked out the comet, somewhat fainter than on Monday. Lesson learned, I went straight for the Gorillapod-on-windowledge and hammered away for an hour.
I took many serviceable photos in the 3–5 second range, but chose this and one other to work on in Photoshop and post on Flickr. As usual, Roger N Clark's curves techniques for adjusting colour balance and improving contrast helped me produce a pretty good result, the light pollution of a distant Edinburgh notwithstanding. Oh to live in a place where the air is dark and watery and transparent!
I shouldn't be, for I've been interested in astronomy forever – and I remember reading excitedly about the "next visit of Halley's Comet due in 1986" – but I'm still amazed at how long the comet's tail is, and I tried to select a couple of photos to do justice to it.

#103: The strawberry plant at my window kind of slowed from its initial explosive burst of growth. But it's three months old and still going strong!
One of my favorite places to shoot is on the window ledge of my office located in an old warehouse. Every so often an owl who visits the backyard looking for squirrels will drop a feather.

I spotted this window this evening in an old building next to a construction site and couldn't help myself.
I really liked the rundown look and the fact that at one point in time there had been a weed growing in the window frame which is at least twenty feet from the ground. I loved the white painted brick work with the dark cracks opening up within it.
I think that there is a lot of beauty to be discovered in decay, if you just look for it.

I posted a photo of Schoolgirl, the climbing rose about a week ago. This is it beginning to lose its petals, but still such a pretty rose.

If you haven't guessed already, my favorite walkaround lens these days is the 85mm f/1.8D... I love experimenting with bokeh and dof! This was taken at the Cannery in San Francisco. I noticed these small window ledges at ground level and asked Maddie to take a seat while I snapped a few shots. I know this shot doesn't exactly obey the rule of thirds, but I wanted to include the entire wall and beyond to convey the depth of field.
Cold one, today; a good time for some hot tea. (Of course, it was lukewarm, by the time I took its photo and shut the window. Just my luck.)
108/365 - #%@$ I'm so tired. Yet I'm trying to think of something life-changingly profound to blow your minds with. I hope I can succeed.
Shot my first wedding today/night. Ugh. Work. It was ALOT of work. And I did not charge nearly enough, even with it being my first. I learned alot, yeah yeah...but still. I undercut my work and abilities very much. Now not looking at all the shots yet, I may be lying.
"...I'm feeling the same way all over again..." Yeah I'm listening to this right now...and the lyrics are fitting to my experience with my love life again. It's like I enjoy feeling like crap due to my expectations. So I hung out with Kerry again the other day (Kerry is an ex-bf whom I see on a regular basis and yes, we continue to flirt...even though he "can't handle the age difference"...supposedly. ugh.) Whatever. So anyway, I go back there one more time...expecting something to have changed. And I hate myself for doing that. I know better. I (think I) know he does not want to commit...and I want more than he is willing to give right now. *sigh* but everytime I go there thinking I can be unemotionally involved. I've not to this day been able to not have feelings for someone I am close with, why would that change now?
I bet ya didn't know you were going to get a cliche-ish earfull about my current self-imposed crisis in the love arena didja? Oh well, it is what it is.
I did a good job at the wedding. I danced. I heard a great message at the conference I was at after the wedding, and I did what I said I was going to do. All day.
And I didn't smoke. (I'm surprised I'm still stopped...) No reason to start after this many months...but sometimes it sounds like a good idea.
<3 you guys. And the title means that I sigh, yet why should I when I can see what is going on :) Why the self-imposed crisis? And if it's going to be then hey, cool, just don't make it a part of my identity. I can screw things up but don't have to be a screw-up :) That was an easy read, didn't say too much...but was an easy read :)
