After a month of daily scanning thousands of slides, this one turns out to be the last of them. I am guessing that I took the photograph in Pompeii, where Vesuvius blew its stack and preserved that day in 79 A.D. under many layers of ash.
So precarious this short life of ours; just this thin layer of epidermis to protect us from the "outrageous fortunes" that might afflict us.
On the brighter side, March is sliding towards the equinox and the birds know it. It is time to rediscover cerulean and crimson and Naples yellow and of course Kelly green. My heart is pattering just a little bit louder in anticipation of the impending crocuses as they prepare to pierce through the still frozen soil.
Wishing you an expansive day before the Ides of March
H.O.C. (Hugs of course)

So you have been a devotee of the slide scanner - I hope you didn't let it become your master.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity to revisit the places where you left your footprints.
Back to snow here... our shadows are still shades of blue for the time being.
