Bulbs are starting to burst into flower here. Our Winter was mild and short, but that doesn't make the arrival of new flowers any less powerful.

The varieties of the narcissus flowers have always been some of my favorites. They seem wonderful and old-fashioned, don't they?

I have just sent my two OM-1's to the lab to be cleaned and resealed. Somehow I have to survive a whole week without them.

Another study of leaf structure, which I am always looking for in the garden.

Amazing how effecient the structures of nature are, isn't it? They slowly evolved the best, most prosperous way to move materials within the organism. Our own bodies are like that, and yet our social organism is not.

When I was little, I remember my mother installing two doors on our house, both with little stained-glass windows in them of tulips.

Tulips have never lost that spiritual aura for me. Maybe more than any other flowers they seem like living paintings. Do you find them special?

I love architecture, and I don't photograph it enough. I like this particular angle downtown because it creates a unique perspective by splitting the frame. I also think I got a little light-leak aura at the bottom of the left half?

One of my favorite things about tall buildings is seeing the ceiling lights inside. I really think I need to get a telephoto lens and try to get more photos of lights in tall buildings. Do you see them in the blue tower?

I don't know how I got this frame; it is just one of those chance occurances that happen with film. The camera functions, the film was fine, and I have never seen this happen before or after!

Sometimes blind chance gives us things we like more than planned action. Interesting, isn't it?
