Goodnight Flower

After a fun Symphony Silicon Valley concert I hopped in my car and Adams’ Harmonielehre was on. I love that work, and it was nice to drive home to, although of course I live too close so I arrived home before it finished. Guess I know what I’ll want to listen to when I have the time. 🙂

One more concert tomorrow and we say goodbye to Ravel and Gershwin for now. Having Jon Nakamatsu back is always a tremendous joy. I’m completely astounded that he plays both of the Gershwin works in one concert, sounding amazing as always, and doesn’t appear wiped out at the end. Wow!

Meanwhile, it’s time for a goodnight flower, don’t you think? Since I’m still looking at older Yosemite shots, here’s one from that area that I’m only now working on.

Just a Couple of Yosemite Shots

As Dan and I were enjoying a nice brunch following my four oboe students of the morning we were talking about Yosemite and the ways we each frequently see things with our cameras: sometimes it’s in a similar fashion, but more often than not it’s differently. Much of the time I’m crouched on the ground, or using the macro very close up to something while he’s capturing some stupendous and unbelievable “all of it” shot. (He amazes me!) The conversation caused me to look back on Yosemite photos I have that I’ve simply not had time to work on, and I came upon these two which I like.

Now I want to start looking more at last year’s Yosemite work, but I’m trying to be a good girl, sticking to an orderly manner of sorting month-by-month. We’ll see if I manage to stick to this!
