This blog is under reconstruction. With a bit of luck, and a smattering of hard work, I'll be back with fascinating, new content, soon!

After an eternity away, I'm (once again) easing my way Back To The Blog.

I enjoy blogging -- really, I do. For some reason, though, when the chaos sets in and 'real life' gets busy, or sad, or overwhelming, or any shiny bit catches my interest, blogging is the first thing to fall off my 'To Do' list.

The Universe may be trying to send me a message. Which makes me wonder,

"Kenneth, what is the frequency?"

Chapter 4

The brick chimney perched atop Mildrena's house (see other 'Estate Sale' chapters, below) was simple, solid and beautiful against a spotless, blue sky. Ultimately, though, the original photograph was painfully ordinary . . . even dull.

You should know, by now, how I feel about 'ordinary'. ;-)

Not-too-surprisingly, I decided to Wow! it up -- quickly realizing only a series would do. And, so, presented for your consideration -- Mildrena's Chimney 1, 2, and 3.

Yep, this is what happens when I glance up . . .

~ A zillion square feet of not-so-cold storage . . .

Did you ever find yourself -- and your camera -- in one of those sprawling, multi-level, personal storage facilities?

I did!

The space was a little chilly, but the acoustics were so great I just had to sing! I even received an enthusiastic round of applause for my rendition of "All By Myself" -- the Bobby Darin classic, not the Eric Carmen hit.

Yep, I take my fun where I can find it!

EDIT: My double spaces have flown the coop! If you spot them anywhere (I assume they're hiding out, somewhere in labyrinth of the World Wide Web), please send them home.

Chapter 3

The spirited owner of these treasures (who was deep into her 90s when she passed on) seemed to have a fondness for dishware -- much as I do. This gorgeous, gold-trimmed, white china was just one of several carefully-kept sets I had the opportunity to shoot during the Estate Sale walk through.

For reasons I haven't quite deciphered (yet), the original photo, above, was one of my favorite captures of the day.

I've never had any interest in owning a set of china -- until I fell in love with these plates, cups and assorted lovelies. The artwork is coming easy for these, and in unexpected variety. There are several different photos of this set, and I can't glance at them without images and ideas popping into my head.

Like last weeks 'red' dishware, this image source will not soon run dry. Which is, indeed, a very good thing!

Chapter 2

Continuing digital visions from the Estate Sale.

I really wish I'd bought these gorgeous, nearly-red dishes. After all, you never know when I'll want to invite twenty-four of my nearest and dearest over for brunch.

Of course, I'd have to find someone to actually cook brunch. People do eat at those things, don't they?
