Slow Time
I hate to say it, but I’ve been lazy the last few weeks. The school semester is winding down, there’s been a flood of students in to show me their work (and some of it is Very Good), but my creative output has sort of plummeted.

The time has come for us to revamp the automotive fleet. Changing priorities (and, I’ll be honest, desires) have us looking to turn over 75% of the cars in the driveway. My Subaru is up for grabs, Declan is on Craigslist now and the wife’s Ford will go eventually, as well.

Morning Mist
Headed in to work just as the sun was starting to warm the world. Not quite a frost, but a heavy dew was just letting go of it’s grasp on some car windshields.
