I was very fond of these perky sharp shadows on a Palo Alto sidewalk. In its usual way, California is causing the spring flowers to bloom too soon, which I quite enjoy.

Another duotoned infrared from the History Park. And canning is another domestic skill that has lost most of its importance since my childhood. Yum! I like the way this tone looks against the black background. There are so many variable and so much to learn!

This was a lovely thing: dancing granddaughters, too young to be self-conscious--probably the sort of thing that could be as delicately sweet only once in my lifetime.
