It's actually color, but there's nothing but shades of grey to be found. Much like my life!

Like the Salem witch thought. That's an era I'm fascinated with. I think I also know that rationality/insanity gap, too, come to think of it... ;-)

Is this is black and white? The color is PERFECT! It doesn't matter, because the photo is a beaut. I just wanted to say: it reminds me of the "Salem Witch Hysteria." Captures the mood, which I would call bleak, almost "nightfall," but most of all apprehensive. This is a picture of a place where the people are in between seasons and caught in between rationality and insanity.

(You know, I'm only an English major...what do I know about photography? Well, take this with a grain of morphine...ooops, I mean "grain of salt.")

Nan, I didn't see that in the photo at all 'til after I took it. That happens a lot.

Susan, that's lovely imagery!

Karen, funny how inspiring these completely dark, drizzly days can be, eh? Can't wait to see what you get.

I see eyes and a lock of hair going upward in the midst of this picture, like a ghostly presence. Really spectacular photo, Lisa!

The bare ruined choirs, where once the sweet birds sang, now look like budding fingertips, about to open with the rain.

Here, too: I will be in the garden today, with the robins and my big black dog.

That is so beautiful, I am going out with my camera, right this minute, in the rain!
