Day 26 - Yesterday's Hydrangea

I changed my work schedule back to four-tens. I'll love it once the week-end comes, but for right now I go to work in the dark and I come home in the dark.

This lonely hydrangea from last summer is lit only by the street light. Kinda romantic in a sad way.

Day 25 - Hazelnut Garland

I see so differently now that I am always scoping out the potential daily. These delicate little garlands have hung off of the hazelnut tree all winter and probably every winter since I've been here and I am just noticing them now.
