Thus began a murmuration

It begins in ones and twos, growing as others join, until the sky is dark with the swarm and trees bow with their weight.

Grassy Knoll Reminder

Grassy Knoll, Southbury, Connecticut

It is hard for me to believe that this November 22nd will mark the fifty-fifth anniversary of John Kennedy’s assassination. We were so naive then.

By the side of the road

Roadside images are plentiful around here, I only have to “bother” to stop. This time what attracted my attention was on the other side of the road; fortunately I turned around.

When the electric company diverts part of the Housatonic River, this part of the riverbed is exposed and accessible; you just better pay attention and not get caught when they open the floodgate!

The Little Things

Little Things © Steven Willard

Sometimes it’s the little things we remember about a building. Maybe it’s the door handles, or the tile work in the bathrooms. Perhaps it’s the light switches or the cabinet pulls in the kitchen. These are the little things down at the human scale where we can touch them, and they often speak to us in ways that are more meaningful than tall columns or dramatic arches and domed ceilings. This ornate offering is a detail of a gate post I came upon in Washington, Connecticut.

Rehearsal

The small cafe in the local natural food store that serves as my office away from home is frequently the scene of spiritual readings, and occasionally used for rehearsing plays. Sometimes the critics can be less than enthusiastic.

Panasonic GX85 with one of my favorite lenses, the Panasonic 20mm f1.7. I used the camera’s ‘L Mono’ jpeg black and white conversion and in-camera square crop.
