Journey to Ixtlan

Look for the silver linings for life and you'll easily spot them.

Like when life conspires to keep you from blowing up your new house!

Good Things Done Today:

1) Installed mailbox at new house
2) Purchased lawnmower for new LARGE yard
3) Thought about hours of using lawnmower... fun fun!

This is Hathor the "alien" cutey kitty!

wulfwalker and I went to my new house today to plot and plan how and where I will lay things out. A tentative location was chosen for the labs' pen and the location for the washer and dryer was picked in the basement. Good stuff...

Today's picture will be of two of wulfwalker's outdoor kitties, orange taby Merlin and half bobcat Bellena, and lovely white Arwin.

My love of photography extends from a fascination of lines and spaces. I think my focus on abandoned places is partially explained by this. An abandoned place has its original lines of function and utility. The building existed for a reason and had a life defined by that purpose. An abandoned building has new lines of decay from the press of time and elements. The result is a picture that has unique lines that straddle worlds of life and death (aka change).

I've looked around my house to see interesting lines. The picture below is of a bulletin board above my desk. I've run it through a graphics program with an 'oil painting' tweak. The picture is an interesting study in lines, elements and space. I also placed a frame around the picture. The frame is a bit cheesy. I think I'll leave that off in future pics. For your consideration...
