It's hard to know why one person chooses red, while another opts for blue.

Around the bay there was a little red in the leaves on some of the trees, and I observed a somewhat hazy and slightly lavender quality in the colors in this area. I saw a friend walking his small white dog and another on the way home from work. Several joggers passed through in the few minutes that I was at the Viewpoint. I took a number of photographs, but not one photo captured the essence of the place. As I've pointed out earlier, the problem is that when I take a shot that shows what an expanse the view encompasses, then the intriguing details are no longer visible. And when I focus on the details, the breadth of the view is no longer apparent.

I'm always looking for the shape and color of what's been forgotten. I'm drawn to hidden corners and dust swept under the rug.
