get out of the way

Today the door was closed and though it took me awhile to get the angle and framing right, Humphrey is still there, as mysterious as ever.


Ganesha, forging ahead with little jingle bells to warn the obstacles he is about to remove them.


When you run out of things to photograph it's nice to have kids to use as subject matter. Tyla sits and waits for a bus.


This one I framed beforehand and saw a place for a person to be. Then I asked Tyla to go down and sit where I directed her. This is good balance though other options are possible.


This one was Tyla's idea. She wanted a photo of her with the lakeside sign? So I obliged. It is actually kind of interesting if only for the oddity of the red bench, position wise.


These are strange flowers. They remind me of those goosh balls that kids have. They hardly seem real.


The people on the bench helped me to see the landscape through their eyes and appreciate it for what it is. When you live here all the time the scenery tends to blend into the background after awhile. It's nice to be reminded that the scenery here is awesome!
