The prompt for Week 41:  Do you have a secret wish?

Don't know how big a secret this is, but . . .
This is moi—in Paris, obviously (and this photo was
taken by my ex, with whom I still travel).  I lived
here many years ago and have promised myself
that I will live here again.  Of course, if property prices
keep going up as they have been, this quai may be
exactly where I am living when I finally get here.

The prompt for Week 40: black and white

Curious that this should come up now, because
just last week I set my camera on black and white
 and walked around my apartment to see what
I could come up with.  This closeup of my
favorite funky lamp is the picture I liked best.

Kate X 32 (more or less)

This was taken by my daughter Lila
of her sister, Katie, at the modern-art
museum in Buenos Aires (the warm-weather,
all-the-meat-you-can-eat, tango-'til-you-drop
stop on their way to and from Antarctica).

The prompt for Week 39: Wide Open Spaces

The best antidote for claustrophobia?  Head for the
famously wide open spaces of the great American West!

The prompt for Week 38:
Each moment is a place you've never been.

This photo represents a place I'd never
been on more than one level.  I was on a pristine,
mostly-undisturbed-by-humans beach in the
Galapagos.  And this hawk and I shared a
special (for me anyway) "moment"—when he
landed in a mangrove tree and allowed me to get close
enough (no zoom needed, only nerve) to capture this shot.

Weekend Reflections

Just visited friends who recently renovated
an old farmhouse—part of a property that
has a name rather than a street number.
It's not a fancy house, but everywhere you
look there's something beautiful to see.

The prompt for Week 37:  Softly Fade Away

I like the idea of one year fading
softly into the next, and I knew the
garden would be the place to
find just the right image to
convey that feeling.  I hope that
2013 blooms well for you!
