Potentiality

This began with a photo of the Alphabet Man, a metal sculpture which stands on the 10th deck of the Celebrity Constellation. I wish I had found out the artist, but alas, I did not and despite an extensive online search, I have yet to find any information about it.

Sunflower of the Week

This is the largest sunflower in our back yard. It's about 7 feet tall and curves down over our back wall. I'm betting it will be the first to turn to seed and make all the birds happy.

While experimenting with a photo that Travel Partner took, I chanced upon a frost texture and decided I liked the juxtaposition of warm with cold.

Lighthouse, Aruba

The California Lighthouse was built around 1914 and named for the steamship California which wrecked on a nearby beach in 1891. It is a favorite attraction on the island on Aruba, even though it is no longer open to the public.
