Thank you! (Though the only hope active at the time was that I could keep the cat from climbing out the window.) > Here's my take on Sunday morning's rain: > > http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.com/2009/03/sunday-morning-rain.html I do hope you were not standing in the street to take that! It's the very thing, though, Toronto street in the rain, beer store and all. (Beer store signs in black and white look ... off, they're supposed to be that shade of unnatural orangish-beige.) > Perhaps these photos say something of our personalities and outlooks on life. > > ;-) Well, much of my interest in photography -- the part that isn't wanting to have a record of the little chirpling bird, so I can identify it with references -- has to do with a peculiar elvish quality of light. Never managed to get it into a photograph yet, but I intend to keep trying. I'm pretty sure this is not what you're trying to do. > Seriously, I like yours a lot! Thank you!
