Here's a photo from a series I completely forgot:

The oaks, as I believe I've mentioned, were brought to the Viewpoint long ago from Denny Park, which was once a cemetery.

It may seem sort of repetitive, but I've dealt with certain things a good deal more than once.

So many photographers choose to stand in one certain place at the Viewpoint that there's a little patch of bare earth there. It's just to the left of the laurel, and somewhat to the right of the Lovers--the two old oaks that were brought to the Viewpoint from Denny Park long ago.

It's almost the last day of the year, but I'm still thinking of July, August, September--those months. It was a clear, cold day today, with no snow. The ground was frozen this morning. It gets dark early, but soon it will be January, the month when some of the most amazing sunrises take place.

This year I'm looking forward to spring and summer more than I usually do. Well, they'll be along soon enough.

And now it's the 5th. When am I going to make it to the Viewpoint again?

Today is the 2nd, which means soon it will be the 4th.

It's late. What can I say? Ignore the hot spot. I didn't think to bring a lens hood with me.
