There’s a great deal of moisture coming up from the Gulf of Mexico this week. For us it will mean rain but for those north of us I’m afraid it will take the form of snow or freezing rain. Temperatures are staying cooler this week, nothing like the 70-80’s we experienced recently.
Rolling thunderstorms are accompanying this rain. Maggie, our part Greyhound dog, is afraid of thunder and lightning and I believe her fear is infectious as now Foster seems a bit skittish during the storms as well. Of course with Foster, being part Bassett Hound and so laid back, it’s hard to tell when he’s excited or afraid — unless there’s food involved.
For the last several years I’ve used the web site Zenfolio to host a gallery of my images, not that I kept it updated. While I have nothing bad to say about Zenfolio, I’m moving my images back to a self-hosted gallery. I can’t see paying even a small annual amount to host photos when I have the capacity at my current site to host them myself. I’ve selected the gallery software and I’m considering how I want to set up the galleries. If anyone has a good photo category structure or simply a suggestion they’d like to share, I’d love to consider it. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — right?
The images are yet another group of early morning light photos — it was a very productive morning. A common thread in this particular group is the deep red blooms, you’ll find them in all three photos.
A fine series of three of this beautiful place and the deep red blossoms. It takes the enlarged version to see them well on my monitor….then they look great! Fine work.
Yes, they were for that one house the flowers were in the shadows. Thanks, Don.
A very beautiful house! It must be a common style because there one that looks very similar down the street from where I live.
Steve, I think this is a very typical Victorian style…probably closely replicated all over the country. Thanks.
They bloom early, the trees with the red bloom, don’t they? The larger trees in the top most image seem not to have leafed out yet. I love that light, it’s so E. Hopper.
Ove, yes these are early bloomers but I’m not sure exactly what they are. I need to do some research and find out. Thanks!
Number three is my favorite and probably because of the inviting porch. As for your question, I have no answer. There is a lot of this blogging I do not understand, so i keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks, Monte. I try to keep it simply too but things always seem to grow more complicated with time.
I do so love this series. If I had to choose a favorite from the this group, I would pick #1. While I like all of them very much, those windows in the first one hint of wonderfully mysterious and tangled tales of beginnnings, endings, heartbreak, and joy. It feels as if there is a novel or screenplay there.
Anita, good eye. It would indeed make a fine house for a novel…indeed a mystery story would work well. Thanks!
