Remind me to remember to forget that all ellipsis comes to a period

I was not bedridden for the last couple of months, but I spent far too much time in my apartment and I am still spending far too much time in my apartment. I did not manage to get out before sunset this afternoon thanks to the hold times of doctors' offices, but I did at least leave the house while there was still light in the sky.



Just visible on the green copper gutter of the Knights of Malta Hall, a red-tailed hawk. spatch asked when I got home if it was the one he named a couple of years ago when it brought a small mammal to a tree in our back yard and did its best imitation of the vultures on Prometheus.



The de/construction of the high school proceeds apace.



I don't know the name for the process of installing or maintaining the catenary of the Green Line Extension, but I am delighted to have discovered a crew with a rail-riding cherry picker working on it. There were occasional buzzes and flashes. I waved.



The shed behind Pearl Street Studios has not changed its message since the last time I visited, but now it's an illuminated palimpsest.



A rabbit in a yard on Bradley Street with no fear whatsoever of me. I give it ten to one against the hawk.



By the time I got home, the twilight was a beautiful deep winter blue. Rob photographed me against it.



Hestia guards her treasures on the dining room table.



Autolycus hoards my shoulder, chin on possessive paw.

Perhaps tomorrow, who knows, some direct sunlight.

all of these photos are extraordinarily easy to see as paintings (in various styles and by an assortment of artists)! paintings I would hang on my walls \o/

Thank you! I think my favorite is the catenary from the Walnut Street Bridge.

Thank you!

My body is choosing violence right now, so it was nice to see these. They have a very "modern photography exhibition" quality in their thoughtfulness and composition.

Thank you! And thankfully it's mostly meetings today, so I can be fairly still...

Thank you!

I hope you win the contest with your body.

Af tselokhes, I have always won so far; I just didn't think I'd have to be reckoning with the same feeling of trapped-ness at my current age as I used to as a kid when hospitals were really deeply insultingly boring places, at least as boring as a day job under capitalism. So the photos are an escape. I appreciate them.

Oh, Johnny, not the Melbourne method.

Two hours!
(Gravy, some of the covers you get in the free bin. It's extremely hard to tell where people's limbs are.)

The palimpsest Black Lives Matter is great. I also like how Hestia's pose recalls that of the red-tailed hawk. You and Autolycus are beautiful together (and you're quite good all on your own, too ^_^)

Thanks for all the other photos too, including One Rabbit To Rule Them All!

Thank you! You're right that Hestia looks quite hawklike. We will add it to the repertoire of our cats' shape-changing.

You're welcome!

I love the photo of Hestia.
