Mystery Chain

I'll be honest.

I am not even sure what this is.

It is part of a automobile engine.

That is all I know.

Tickle me or torture me.

You'll not get any further information.

I just thought it would be a cool picture.

Y'all be da judge(s).

Vintage Lace and Table

The warm natural sepia tones are inviting, then the intricacy of the lace and the grain of the old oak table draw the eye, warm the heart, and ignite the imagination.

You can almost hear the cloth and the wood speaking to you. 

Right Angles After Dark

Colors, Lines, Textures, Geometry

This is taken looking straight down into a candleholder lantern sitting on a wicker table.

Here is a side view of the lantern:

Wet Leaves

Without getting too lost in the actual details of this picture,

take in the textures, the lines, the sense of movement even though the subjects are still,

the subtle play of the light on the dampness of the leaves.

It's like one of those paintings where if you stare at it long enough

you can see other hidden, subliminal images.

Or maybe it's the fact that I'm listening to Louie Prima sing "Piccolina Lena" while I'm typing this...

Peeking at Tea

At a local Chinese restaurant I took the opportunity to peek inside the teapot.

We were drinking - oh - something like Jasmine Orange Spice Pomegranate Raspberry Essence of Oak Barrel Green Tea with Acai-berry aftertones - it was aromatic and delicious.

I dig how the tea bundle is all nestled cozily in the undulant wire strainer.

Taken sometime in October 2010.

Oh.

I forgot.

Digital.

The metadata informs me that this particular photo was snapped at precisely

12:08pm on 1 October 2010.

Can't hide from metadata.

Spigot

Early morning light casts long shadows!

And the naturally neutral palette provides an unretouched vintage look.

Taken at 7:00am on 28 September 2010.

Vortex Flights

Looking straight up from the bottom of a stairwell on the corner of a parking structure in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, 4 August 2010.
