MONOPEDAL


"Monopedal" is one of my favorite subjects to photograph around the grounds of the retirement community I live in: staircase lines, angles, and especially shadows. (And this is only one batch of these that we have here.) This photo is cropped from a much larger view that wasn't very interesting until I noticed all those stairs seemed to be supported by only one narrow column. :-)

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY


This photo's name is from the title and last line of Robert Frost's poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay." Although his poem uses a spring metaphor to speak of things ephemeral, I think I might be forgiven for using his line to reflect upon an almost autumn photo. It was taken at the end of this August, a wide streak of late afternoon sunlight coming through just these few new rose leaves.
