Day 58: February 27th

Neo: Man About Town

The world has a lot to learn from this cat.  Recently neutered and still he struts his stuff like nothing bad ever happened to him.  Eternally optimistic, his tail is always at full mast without a care for the fact that he was born into a world with strong superstitions against him, feral and without a windowsill to call his own.

Day 57: February 26th

A truly crappy picture.  This was taken while I was at a stop sign near my home.  There's a lot wrong with this picture: the post on the right, where the chain should connect, was cut out, the horizon is just about smack in the center, and really, there is nothing visually interesting about it.

So why is it posted here?  Well, I took the picture out of a desperate attempt to grab a "picture of the day," specifically for this project.  The day was growing long and I didn't have one yet.  The second reason is that this field can be really beautiful at different times of the day and under different weather conditions.  For example, when ice is caked on every blade of grass and the morning sun is just at the right angle.  When the sun is getting low on the horizon in the late afternoon, it backlights the brush.  The sky and the warm golden tones at that time of day can turn this field into a masterpiece.

Day 56: February 25th

Hotel room.  Laying awake.  Headlights through the curtains come and go.  At night, even the fanciest hotel room transforms itself into a Quentin Tarantino movie set. 

This is the first time this year that I've stayed away from home.  China next month!

Day 55: February 24th

This whole room hangs off of that red sofa.  It would just be a room if it wasn't for that hot tamale sitting there in front of the curtains.  Red sofas are to a room what cheekbones were to Joan Crawford.  Simply fabulous.
