I had intended to do some serious sleeping in this morning, but, alas, it was not to be. I woke up a couple of hours ago–too early to want to stay awake, but too late to reasonably go back to bed–to a solid grey day. I should have known that the good weather couldn’t last. The sunset last night was gorgeous, though, so I guess that makes up for it. It was an blindingly intense orange, with a ginormous sun pillar. I’ve seen sun pillars before, but never one this large or well defined. Of course, I was A) in my car and B) without my camera, so I didn’t get any pictures of it. Damn! What makes me cranky is that I almost picked up my camera on my way out the door that morning, but I decided it was pointless to take it along, as I was just going to work. That’ll learn me!
So, no pretty sunset pictures today, but I do have a photo I took last spring, just as the foliage was starting to unfurl. I love the lacy, delicate look of the pale, new leaves, and the softness of the mist. It’s just the ticket on a disgusting winter day, I think.
I did some cross-pollination last night. I uploaded a metric butt-load of images from my website to my Flickr account, and added/rearranged some of my sets. Dawn asked about my Flickr account, and it occurred to me that the audiences for Flickr, blogs, and websites are slightly different, so it might be a good idea to duplicate information. It’ll be an interesting sociological experiment to see how the numbers fall out.
I still have to upload watercolors (such as they are), paintings on canvas, the ABC book, and a few odds and ends, and do a little bit more fine-tuning of sets, but everything else is pretty much finished, I think. Hopefully, I’ll have time to finish it in the next day or two. I also found a couple of images that’d been uploaded to Flickr, that hadn’t made it to the website. I have no idea how that happened, but it’ll be soon rectified, as well.
It was sort of weird going back through some of the gluebook and composition book images. I did the typical “That sucks,” “That’s not bad,” and “I totally forgot about that one” routine. But, by the time I’d finished, I also found that my head was swirling with half-formed ideas. So maybe it was a good thing that I decided to do this at this point in time.
