Keep in mind that you can always click on the images to see a full-size view. Some of the text will appear a bit easier to read in the “Words on Images” creations when viewed at 100%. I noticed that this one, in particular, seems to come across with less than optimal lettering at the size posted. -JWH

Words on Images
Instant Triggers
.
.
the number of thoughts I can have
in the minuscule confines of a single second
baffle my sense of time and the universe
remembering things and forgetting them
in less time than it takes to finish a breath
accepting the places I have stood
as more than mere figments of my imagination
wondering about hands I have held
disasters I have witnessed
that were not really disasters
with the passing of time
providing enlightened perspective
photographs instantly trigger
recognition of more
than a moment in time
Re-Obvious
Speaking of “obvious” (a word used in yesterdays posted Words on Images re-visit), I find that certain words continue to pop up in my creations. I don’t know if that is simply a verbal habit or if there is something deeper to be gleaned from the tendency. The words, “brilliant,” “silly,” “whisk,” “simple,” and, of course, “obvious,” are a few that come to mind right now. You are probably able to spot more than I, as it is most often invisible to me. If I recognized it, I’d be less inclined to continue the habit, obviously.

Revisiting
I am going to re-post some of my “Words on Images” creations that have stood the test of time for me and remain some of my favorites.
In no particular order, I have chosen “Prisons” to be the first one revisited…

Snow Shoeless
Happy February, 2012! Why don’t we celebrate a new month with at least a fraction of the energy we put into celebrations of the new year?
Yesterday being Tuesday, my friend Mike and I got together for our (mostly) weekly night out and embarked on a mini-adventure in the great outdoors. We took a hike in the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area park in Eden Prairie. It was my hope that we might catch a glimpse of a colorful sunset, because the hour of our hike put us at prime time. Unfortunately, clouds settled in and draped our world in the classic monochrome of a winter dusk.
On the last day of January, a trek in the woods usually requires snow shoes in this part of the world, but that would have been overkill yesterday. It was clearly evident which slopes of the bluff area were exposed to the afternoon sun, and which were in shadow. There was no snow on most of the south-facing areas, just a blanket of leaves. Daytime temperatures have been well above freezing for a couple of days, which has spelled doom for the bulk of the inch or two of snow we had left from the last episode of precipitation. It’s not lookin’ like there’ll be any igloo building being done by me this year.
I took a few pictures, regardless the overcast conditions, just in case something interesting might turn up. I selected three.
After our little walk, we stopped off at Lion’s Tap for a burger and fries. Figured I would mention that just to make those of you who know about that landmark institution, a little bit jealous.
