Late Afternoon On The SaugatucketLate afternoon on the Saugatucket River from Silver Lake Avenue. The sun filters through the clouds and trees casting the first of the reds and oranges of sunset.
"The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!"
~Ansel Adams
An enjoyable aspect of photography is that it sometimes captures surreal reality. These moments of seeming surrealism only last for a moment. How does one capture that moment? You have to be lucky enough to be there and aware of your surroundings.
This was my situation this afternoon looking north along the Saugatucket. I can explain the effects in view through optics, physics and, meteorolog

Morning Breaks Over R/V EndeavorMorning breaks over the R/V Endeavor in its home port of Narragansett, Rhode Island as the vessel awaits the last research voyages of its long career and decommissioning.
Serendipity. It's a term that I like to embrace more often in the day and age we live in. It's the pleasant, fortuitous surprises that make life more pleasant. A strict definition includes an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.
This is why I like the shoreline and the beach. I enjoy being the "

Orange Shadows Cast
(Select Image or Title To See In A Larger Format)
Orange Shadows CastIn the late-day sun, highlights of light and shadows cast
Orange is a color that is often called "happy". So coming across a natural display of the color orange that is mysterious and moody is a find.
These orange flowers know that this is later spring and that summer is coming. They know that the rain is coming tonight. They know that brightness is around the corner. But the current climate leaves them unsure, shy, and introverted. They hide in the shadows and look forward to the bright light. Orange flowers are happiness cloaked in mystery and wisdom.

Driftwood Tree And Waves At Matunuck by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI Gallery

Driftwood Tree And Waves At Matunuck (Select Image or Title To See In A Larger Format)
Driftwood Tree And Waves At MatunuckDriftwood tree ashore on Matunuck Beach as waves roll in off the sound
I once read that the waves are the voice of the tides. It's true. As the winds increase against the tide, the resistance will generate waves. The motion of the earth adds to the action with swells. This is a simplistic explanation but it piques our interest in the waves.
But what the wind and tide deposit on the beach attracts the beachcomber and beachgoer. Driftwood in this case. An entire driftwood tree. The bark stripped and every grain raised. Soaked with salt (it would pop with explosive crackles if burned). A fascination deposited on the beach.

Neighborly Flowers Reaching Out (Select Image or Title To See In A Larger Format)
Neighborly Flowers Reaching OutA batch of neighbors flowers in bloom on a late afternoon in springtime
We have a neighbor that has the most manicured lawn and landscape in the neighborhood. He's that rugged, grisly-voiced aging veteran that takes pride in everything he does. Disciplined and creative. Meticulous. The gent you trust with a problem. This is the gent that you trust with your sons. And when you need a laugh, there is a welcoming smile, wave, and a conversation full of dry wit.
Our neighbor is aging now. We send our sons over to help him out. When the cords of wood come, we send them over to help

Resting With Driftwood (Select Image or Title To See In A Larger Format)
Resting With DriftwoodDriftwood and house on Matunuck Beach with waves rolling in and a very high spring tide
As we walk on the beach, we often wonder. With extreme tides and waves, we often marvel at what will wash up. We also wonder what could wash away.
In this case, a driftwood tree has washed up on the beach. And an ancient cottage needs protection. Sand on the shore and sandbags surrounding. This is a stormy day in Southern Rhode Island.

If I had to pick a term to describe our 42nd-month blogging, it would be “consistent growth”. Although we didn’t get any big features this month, we did have fairly consistent pageviews and users over the course of the month. Our strategies for maintaining views during the spring and summer seem to be working, and we …

The Past's Mosaic Template Of The FutureGlass block wall outside the former pool entry at the Old East Providence High School created a rain speckled mosaic template for the new school building
The past is often an imperfect mosaic that leads us into the future. We look through a glass darkly; uncertain of what the future brings but knowing that the future is ahead of us regardless.
On the last weekend of May 2021, my wife, Jen, received an invitation to visit East Providence High School. This is where she graduated from some years ago. The old high school building is being torn down and the education is moving to a new building.
