WARREN CONECTICUT – I captured a lovely image today but it cost me dearly. It’s an image of a slow tree near the edge of a field here. I’ve been thinking for some time about how to capture it and got it today. A very low angle with some ferns in the foreground, isolating the tree against the sky, with a fortunate halo of clouds. Very me. In this case my solo person is a tree. To get the angle I had to press back against an overgrown tree line and get down on the ground. In my concentration I didn’t notice the poison ivy (which I’m ordinarily ultra alert for) and I picked up a deer tick. Not good at all. I’ve sorted out the deer tick with a two day blast of antibiotics so I’m free of Lyme symptoms. but the poison ivy is something else. It affects me badly so it looks like I’ve got bubonic plague running up my left arm, with various spots elsewhere where I touched myself. I’m a misery of calamine lotion. This too will pass, but it really takes two or three weeks. Ugh.
I hope that you like the image.

PINE PLAINS NEW YORK and WAREN CONNECTICUT – I go around a bit today so I’m posting three images from different spots. The cemetery is on a lovely hilltop in Dutchess County near the Connecticut boarder.
Day 2136 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A contrast today: shooting off hand on Third Avenue vs four years ago, super composed on a tripod with a technical camera. You can see why I abandoned the technical camera idea as sterile.
