Where does the time go -

"Waving Goodbye to May"

"... with slight heaviness of heart,
a lowing, slight mourning,
to passing bud and bloom,
she waves her darling away,
catching the scent of summer,
a warm romance yet to come ..."

Moody Monday: Light -

"Tripping the Light Fantastic"
digital collage by Mick Mather

I didn't specifically set out to capture a photograph for this week's Moody Monday - the theme is light - but that's what happened. Straight from the Kodak Z740 to the array of filters and plug-ins here at the Secret Visual Laboratory and, with a little musical inspiration from Bill Laswell and Pete Namlook via Outland 1, a little bit of mystery, romance and adventure was added. This just in!...scores of motorists at a local intersection found themselves out of gas in the middle of a traffic jam. Early reports claim that a mysterious "lost time event" occurred when stranded drivers began to realize that 24 hours had passed in what seemed like a normal 24 second passage of time for the traffic light at that intersection. Details and film at eleven!
