Reflective

Sorry folks, final papers and the holidays got in the way of blogging for a while.

New Years always seems like a reflective sort of time with all the resolution-making and starting anew -- and, although it's not as poetic, I just stumbled across a reflection shot I really like.

So here are two reflective, reflections for you:

Round and Round We Go...

Lately I've found myself adding several similar pictures to my favorites. Different materials, but almost the exact same composition: lots and lots of circles.

I'm not sure what in my sub-conscious is drawn to circles, but, here are a few of them. Enjoy!

A bit of color for today...

After last week's winter-y posts, I could use a change of pace. So I went hunting for green and yellow -- bright, fresh and cheerful.




Here's a macro (love the lines)

Poking around on flickr today, looking for something interesting to post, when I found this The Commons,

So now you can go through the Library of Congress's photostream (among others)

Frosty..

I'm still thinking about chilly weather, and I'm not the only one. Flickr is suddenly full of frosty pictures

A quick post for a holiday weekend, with finals coming up soon (eek!)

Here in Massachusetts, it's getting cold, and Thanksgiving marks the end of fall for me (it's not officially winter until the Solstice in December, but in New England, that never really worked for me) so, I'm trying to psyche myself up for how beautiful winter can be(and avoid thinking about digging my car out of the snowdrift to get to work)


So, here's a picture from a snow storm a couple of years ago...

A sad conclusion: There are more artistic photographs of onions, on flickr, than books. By a long shot.

I'm a bookworm, so I decided to go book-hunting on flickr, which is when I learned that although flickr has many many photos tagged with "book" and even a 5000-item group pool - the vast majority fall into two categories: "the cover of my favorite/newest/would-take-it-to-exile-on-a-desert-island books" or "look at my huge/crazy/messy/just-organized bookshelf" which are interesting as far as they go (I love book recommendations, have shelves of my own that could use a brilliant organizational idea and even picked up a tip I might use for displaying favorite books), they're not exactly compelling pieces of photographic art.

After much digging (well, clicking and scrolling...) I found some examples worth the hunt.
