Blue Hour Cityscape
Serendipity struck this evening. A rather nice sunset was rapidly closing down in the west, but the light was still reflected in windows of some of the tall buildings.
My grandmother’s nursing home is on a hill with a lovely view of downtown Seattle. I happened to have my new tripod in the car and a few minutes between needing to be places. You can see any picture larger by clicking on it.

DIY Flowers
Between a cold/flu thing and generally unpleasant weather this has been a make-your-own-flowers week for me. I made a quilt and tote bag that, if my calculations are correct, will attach to the handles of my grandmother’s wheelchair for her Christmas gift. Now I just need this cold to clear up.
It’s that time of year…

Squares of the Times
Advent wreaths count down to Christmas, in reality they probably predate the concept of Christmas and are part of “pagan” celebrations of the solstice. I like the idea of advent, gradually preparing for our celebration of the change from darkening to lightening (Christmas is fundamentally that: a celebration of the return of light to a dark and weary world) and have “celebrated” it in my own ways for many years now.
This year I decided that I will try to add to that celebration participation in the “TimeSquares” Photo Challenge by each week during Advent.
From our visit to London last June:
Pocket watches at the British Museum.
An antique clock and its inner workings at the British Museum.
A complex timepiece at the British Museum.
Rolling balls are part of the mechanism, British Museum.
Pick up times are clearly marked on this mail box in London.
From this past week, time passes so quickly:
Cold Sunshine

First Frost
It’s time to wear gloves. I took these walking the dogs a couple of weeks ago, on the first frosty morning.
