Camera Frustration (Hopefully Resolved Soon)

Well, I've gotten all of the accessories for my new camera except for the one thing I need to make it work — THE MEMORY CARD!!! Oh well, I suppose I'll have to wait a bit longer to take some test pictures. Hopefully, I'll receive a nice little package in the mail tomorrow with the missing piece and my digital photo days will begin!

The Camera

Travel!

For the record, I'll be leaving July 23rd for Germany, and I'll be there for about a month. I just got a nice new Canon camera, so I'll be posting plenty of pictures from the trip. Now it's just a matter of counting down the days...

On Rain

I know they often tell you not to personify the earth — it's not right, somehow — but on a particularly rainy day about a week ago, I felt compelled to do so anyway. This is just a rough sketch of the piece, and I'll probably go back to it later to change some things, but I think it's alright for the moment.

From the vast and murky heavens do they fall, the many solemn drops, each of them to a

different patch of earth so that they might bring to it their ancient gift, their blood of life. The
fields, their golden rows reaching upward in prayer, now seem to release a collective sigh; the days of the dryness, of torturous heat and mocking sun, of buzzing insects and creeping things which lie in hiding from the rain, are now but a faint memory. The Earth looks up, its valleys and crags mouthing a silent thanks, and receives gratefully its long-awaited communion.

Welcome to "A Telling Glance", my new blog that I hope to fill with pictures, writings, songs, videos, and other interesting things. I'll try to update it as regularly as possible. Thanks for your interest!
