The precipitation hanging in the air of late is lending a eerie softness to the landscapes. (Millville)

It’s like traveling to another place with these shifts in weather. (Northside)

And it all comes back to home as I sit there at my desk in the studio and this face extends up over the balcony.
It’s a two story loft sort of thing, and Tom has fashioned a long pole from cardboard tubes in the recycling bin
and added a face. (Oxford)

I’ll close out these not flowing images with a shot from Kentucky in the wee hours. (Bellevue)

We’re having a string of gray, wet days here in Ohio.
Here’s the same view from Devou Park in sunnier, blue sky-ier days if you’d like some contrast.

Speaking of contrast, Tom made these salmon salads for lunch from leftovers and they were delicious.
I can’t recall the last time (if ever) I’d had dandelion greens. Chunks of apple made it extra awesome.

Hadn’t been to the cigar tasting at the Beer Sellar for a long, long time.
Finally got back and now my coat smells like a humidor.

I could find out when I was here last if I fill in those blank six months of 2011′s album.
This gap of posting has been on my mind, but I’m relieved to just be picking back up where I left off.

My friend Kyle said, just start posting again. Don’t say anything about it. Just do.

So I did, but I feel I should mention now as I’ve caught my breath: Those six months were
jam packed with goodness. So much in fact, just sorting through the day’s photos would’ve taken
a good chunk of time, and work was busy to boot.

There it is. Nothing salacious to report.

In the past I’d complain about what I call “Logorot” — when companies update their identity with displeasing results.
Under Consideration came about with their Brand New blog which did a much better job at presenting new ID’s with
some meat, context, words, and consistency.

Flashback: I was in Michaels right before Christmas a month ago, getting some art framed. (Finally.)

I noticed the credit card machine had a “new” logo treatment that was different than the tilted Bookman of the existing identity.

Yup. Turns out a new logo has been rolling out for some time, we’re just late to the party.
I figured I’d snap a photo as I picked up the framed work tonight. (Finally.)

I like it much better. Goodness knows this sign below could use replaced:

The weather can’t decide to be freezing or warm, so I’m layering.

Reports warned of freezing rain.
They were right.

One way to combat this weather is with a bloody mary, and bacon.

A single photo from the phone while standing in the checkout lane at the market.

S’weird hearing Paula Deen say Novo Nordisk with her Southern lilt, bless her heart.
I’ve come to accept our future of celebrity endorsements for drugs.
Yes there was Bob Dole for Viagra, but didn’t seem quite the watershed.
There’s a new creepy element, and here I am, propagating.
