Judging by the trails of footprints in the snow in the vicinity of the Sentinel, I guessed that a number of people had been there in the snow before I had. But they were all gone.

Headed for the Viewpoint.

Skoro budet, the saying goes. Each image is a struggle, and each takes time to come into the world, even when the shutter speed is fast.

Sometimes the mist rises from below, even in the late summer or early autumn. I suppose the patch of haze in the upper lefthand corner of this picture is nothing but the light of the nearby lantern. I should have used a hood around my lens, but I didn't happen to bring one with me.

Moving forwards or backwards changes what you see, as most people realize.

It can be hard to decide which is the definitive image of a given subject, even when one is making a selection from amongst images taken within a period of a few seconds. The multiplicity of images and the unresolved decision as to which should represent the subject may, in fact, be the subject.

The fence is a dividing line. All that occurs along that line is of interest to me. At all leads to the Viewpoint.

It's been a while since I last walked past the tree with a hollow. This is another photo I took in March. It's strange, but my mind is in March today.

It's almost June 1st, and I'm freezing! It makes me think back to March. As I child I once went door to door gathering money for the March of Dimes.

If a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one to hear the sound, is there one? I don't know.

The trees are full of green buds now--and the buds are about to burst.

When I arrived at the Viewpoint this evening, there was an impressive almost-full moon. the sky was still fairly blue, and the moon, not officially full till tomorrow, was casting a strong reflection on the lake. Tomorrow I'll go back to see the blue moon.

This morning the sky was overcast, very different from how it was even yesterday, but especially three days ago.

A photo of the Sentinel and neighboring street from two days ago:

The play of light and shadow had an almost hypnotic effect.

Blue Genie

When I was at the Viewpoint this evening, I noticed that the five lights that illuminate the park after dark do cast some light onto the trees growing in the ravine below. You don't much see this cast light unless you walk under the laurel tree, where there's no light shining in your eyes, our you walk right up to the edge and look outwards, towards the view. I'll have to deal with this further.

Like Birds

I stopped by the Viewpoint this evening. There was a circle of five or six young people, probably in their late teens or twenties, sitting in a circle to one side of the laurel tree. They were talking up a storm, but once I walked into the center of the park, they suddenly grew silent. I didn't go any closer to them. It's like birds--you don't go too near, or they might take off in a hurry.
