Red Fox

On a morning run, I come across red fox.  We stand still, appraising eachother, then as I get my camera ready, another runner comes from opposite direction -- a quick shot and this beautiful ellusive beastie darts into the bushes leaving me alone in wonder and appreciation.

Marginal Notes: Omens are made by men

"Night Light" copyright 2012 © Emily B. Maurer

Three nights ago
The sentinel streetlamp
In front of our house
Extinguished itself.
Our dim porch light struggled
To keep the darkness
At bay. more»

WTF?

"Stop, pause... go refreshed..."
still life, in the frosty grass
cold morning run

Eve Arnold - Photographer Extraordinare

Eve Arnold who fell in love with photography after a boyfriend gave her a camera and came to be regarded as a grande dame of postwar photojournalism for her bold, revealing images of subjects as diverse as Marilyn Monroe and migratory potato pickers, died on Wednesday, January 4, 2012 in London. She was 99.

Born, Eve Cohen in Philadelphia on April 21, 1912, she was one of nine children of immigrants from Ukraine. Her father was a rabbi. At 28, she abandoned ambitions of becoming a doctor to move to New York because “That’s where the boys are,” she said.

Dawn Patrol, for Shay Bintliff

Most days I greet the dawn. On cold clear mornings, these words from G.M. Hopkins, "God's Grandeur," come to mind:

"Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings."

While I am not religious, for me Hopkins captures the wonder and majesty of Dawn Patrol.
