porch pictures and rambley stuff

a few pictures from today, again off the silly little digital:
i'm finding i really do love the texture it gives. what we love most about a medium are the ways it fails etc etc but something about the particular graininess this camera lends (lens lends?) tells you what it would be like to touch the sky and the light and the white-washed iron railing. or so it seems to me, but i may be biased because it is my iron railing and i do know what it's like to touch that.

i remembered today that we have a porch swing!! and took full advantage of this discovery-- i spent the last few hours of daylight with a salad and my latin textbooks, and the little camera.
i went out on a trail with my proper camera on Sunday but i have yet to find a decent program for photo editing. need to take my computer out for tinkering because it won't let me download programs. i'd really missed that camera, it was a lot of fun to start playing around with again. i also picked up Angela Carter's Love again that day -- i started reading it months ago but had to set it down for a hiatus called 'exam period' -- and it's reminded me how much i love her. i have no doubt i'd disagree with her about every possible thing but i love her and her writing so much. excited to get through the giant Carter Collection i've optimistically amassed in busy times, for freer ones. i'll never have a freer time than this year!
