Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Half a month ago, I wrote about the ivy covering the wall of a vacant house behind mine turning bright autumn colours. Well I finally uploaded the admittedly not very good pictures of it that I took with my phone. (I meant to do it again on a sunnier day but didn't get around to it. It doesn't seem to be the kind of subject the cameraphone is good at, but more light probably would have helped. If the colours last long enough ...) And yes, I still prefer film, but comparing two weeks from camera to web versus six months from camera to web, I gotta say that even this bare-bones level of digital photography has some use. (Now if I could jury rig a flash connector to for the phone ...)

The Turning Of The Walls View out my back window: ivy covering a vacant house, turning autumn colours. Low-res cameraphone snapshot; minor tweaking in GIMP.

It doesn't really bear enlarging any from this size, alas, so y'all aren't getting the full effect. (But I don't think the phone was ever really meant to capture a lot of detail at a distance anyhow.)

State of d'Glenn: Unwell. Not sure whether this is the fibromyalgia, migraine, or both playing tag using my body as a playground. (A lot like a nasty flu minus the fever, all the snot-related symptoms, and four fifths of the nausea. Weak, trembly, exhausted, joints & muscles ache, dizzy. Add hyperacute hearing, and sharp noises -- regardless of volume -- being very painful. Stir, and chill. The result is how I feel.) Plans for tonight postponed. Hoping for sleep.
