When I think of a structure I think of buildings, man made architecture of some sort. Everything physical has some sort of “structure.” Enjoy some of the structures of Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

God bless America with all its imperfection. After all, he who is without sin is the only one that can say a word against it without being a hypocrite. Sadly it appears as if a certain faction in our own country is attempting to take away our history and heritage because they are “offended” all of a sudden. There have been many offenses by many people. If we all complained about something, what will be left or who will be left standing in this country? A Coup d’ etat appears to be taking place because no one removes the history of a once great nation all of a sudden unless they are overthrowing it. Something to think about. These same people hate Trump and he wanted to make a better America. They are trying to make him eat his words, instead they will bring the wrath of many against them and their fake causes. Charlottesville police officers said “off the record” that they were not allowed to interfere in that protest by order of that city’s mayor. Not sure how many are aware of what is going on right now.

Sometimes I like to play with the various Kaleidoscope effects my software offers. One just splits the image and another does the actual Kaleidoscope design effect and allows you to place it where you want it in terms of color and shape, lots of options. The split effect they call kaleidoscope splits 4 images at a time. There is a plan to what I do eventually but my designing does begin willy-nilly.

I am a very textural person! I love Jacquard and tapestries with deep textures. I study stone, brick, wood and metals when I’m out and about with my camera. Everything in our world, man made or natural has it’s own distinct textures to enjoy.

I used to love the Merry-go-round as a child. It was less violent than many of the other rides and it had animals, usually horses!

This photograph reminds me of one of my favorite poems. It is something to think about anytime you get caught up in the mainstream guilt of never doing quite enough in your life or in this world. This poem really says it all in the grand scheme of things. I never realized this as I “accidentally” leaned my homemade trellis against my garage one day when storm clouds came into view, planning to finish it later. It had a very convenient overhang that kept all these little ones dry in the storm. I looked out to see them all sitting there and took this shot with my telephoto from my house. Unusual enough to make me dig out the camera for this shot and I felt happy for them that I did this. I ended up leaving it here for the summer.
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking
by Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin unto it’s nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
