Cam's Commentary

Hello fellow Beyond Beyond-ers and any stray internet wanderers who may have found this blog. If you've come from the Beyond class and have a Blogger blog, you might have followed a link from a comment I left. Blogger has been a bit persnickity about letting me leave comments (it reacts as if I'm not logged in) and isn't always recognizing my Open ID. Sorry for the extra click, but I now blog at Four Deer Oak. You'll find my photography and musings over there. Thanks for following the link! And, goodness! I'll have to change that poorly sized header on this page. Wowzer!

I'm now posting here. I hope you will continue to follow me as I re-enter the world of blogging. If you'd like a link on my new blog, be sure to leave a comment on the new blog. See you around the web!

This week's "Photo Friday"

It's hot here and the humidity has been hovering just below 100%.  At least it's not raining -- all the time. 

Yesterday, I went for a walk at the new 100 Acres Art & Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.  Two artists are living in a floating island in the lake right now. I'll have to go back again with the intent to bring something to trade and make a visit to the island. You can read about their project "Give and Take" here.

The camera, of course, was present on my walk. It's amazing the things you see when you start looking for them.



When I got home, I spied this beautiful blue creature on my patio table:


And these, that came home from the Farmers' Market:
which reminded me, as plums always do, of the poem "This is Just to Say", by William Carlos Williams. They were so sweet and so cold.

This week's entry for the Photo Friday Challenge, Summer Fun. Taken May, 2010, Washington Square Park, NYC.

This week's Photo Friday challenge is "Bloom". Since I like to shoot flowers, the most difficult part of this challenge was deciding what photograph to use. I shot this at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, May 21, 2010.

This was my second choice, also shot on the same day:

Here's a link to several others.

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
