I spent some time going through old pictures today and found a couple I felt like posting.

Another picture
In the cathedral again, this time in the choir loft.
Panoramas and dolls
Drizzle dance
I spent much of yesterday afternoon photographing the matachines at a nearby parish in the cold drizzle. More pictures below the fold.
Pixillated, metalized, plasticized and worse
I’ve been playing around with the trial version of Filter Forge and wondering if it’s worth $50. Extensive variations on a theme below the fold.

Visitor
Mary R. stopped by my office this afternoon and brought Duffy along.
Unexpected combination
A couple more pictures:
Iris and chrysanthemums blooming simultaneously.
November color
Probably Malva sylvestris, photographed near the back door of the cathedral.
Delayed sensation
Last spring I planted a packet of cosmos seeds of the old “Sensation” variety. According to the packet, the plants start blooming in midsummer and get about four feet tall, which tallies with my memories of the plants in the family garden years ago. However, summer came and went, and the plants showed no sign of flowers. Instead, they just grew and grew. The ones that didn’t flop over are all five to six feet tall now. Finally, in October, they began to bloom. Here are a few pictures I took this afternoon.
Shades of red
Thanks to abundant moisture throughout the year and unseasonably cool temperatures the past few weeks, this is the best year for fall color that I can remember.
Balletic debauchery
I shot over 1500 frames this week during the rehearsals of the Friends University fall ballet concert, and it’s going to take me a while to go through them all. Until then, here’s a selection from Prodigal Son, choreography by Stan Rogers after Balanchine.

Lots of strings attached
I finished going through the hundreds of snapshots I took at Winfield and posted a selection in my gallery here.
Winfield snapshot #1
Fiddlers at Carp Camp, budget- and economy-sized.
The subtle beauty …
… of sodium vapor lights in the fog.

Is there anything that doesn’t come in a Hello Kitty version?

Large green ducks. There’s more rice paddy art here and here.
Too many hats

Will the Vocaloids outnumber the Narutards?
One can hope.
The Wichita anime festival moved to a venue within easy bicycle distance this year. I’ll probably spend most of the weekend there with my camera.
Here’s the first batch of snapshots.

Photo gallery additions
It’s lily season. This year’s Botanica pictures can be viewed here.
More claret
The rains have stopped for the moment, and my Echinocereus triglochidiatus finally opened. The grey blotches on the epidermis are due to the workers who painted the house last year, who painted the cacti, too.
