It was 50 degrees this morning at 6:00 and is now 73 at 8:30. It’s going to be a gorgeous day. Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day.

I’ve been shooting more lately, random stuff, lots of patterns, shapes and colors. Landscapes seem so distant in my past as I walk the paths of parks and pound the pavement of our streets. And of course, always looking for light. This image has a bit of each of them. There is pattern, colors, and backlit light for this flag.
I have the opportunity to look out a lot of hotel windows. It comes along with the line of work I do. I must say there are some very interesting windows out there and some pretty boring windows. All kinds of shapes and designs. Some windows will have wonderful views while some will have crappy views. This window has both, a wonderful design and view. I discovered this window while on my search for breakfast. Some may not believe this, but do I like to use the stairs while in hotels so I can get in some much needed exercise as it helps keep my pants from shrinking as quickly. On this particular morning I opened the door to the stairwell and wall-ah, there was this oval window looking out over the wooded valley with the American flag proudly blowing in the light breeze. I excitedly ran back to my room, as if the window was going anywhere, and grabbed my camera then happily took a bunch of photos. I eventually walked down the four flights of stairs and ate breakfast, which was pretty good, and then took some more images on the way back. Now back to work.
