World’s Laziest Photographer

Lately, I’ve been feeling like the title of this post. I haven’t gone on any special photo outings. Maybe winter has something to do with it. It’s hard to take photos with gloves on and coldly painful to take photos with them off, even for a few minutes.

BUT, I managed to snap a few when we were at our cabin last week. The weather was a crazy mix. Rain came first. After it stopped, the tree

“...Don't you ever get the feeling that for all that people try to be so civilized and sophisticated, we're really just animals pretending to be human?”
Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“Her cousins laughed, daring the next wave to wash over before they passed. While they ran, a huge swell rolled along the side of the pier, fat fingers reaching up just in time to pluck them from the pier and win the macabre game of tag. Melora watched, helpless, hardly realizing the gravity of what was happening. It had all been a game. Her cousins were so good at games.”
Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“The professor is stumped about why the decline is happening with the wolves and what, if anything, we can do to help them. You see, the problem is we've let nature take its course here. We observe but don't interfere. Kind of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek.”
Marie Zhuikov, Eye of the Wolf

“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
Voltaire

“It was one of those humid days when the atmosphere gets confused. Sitting on the porch, you could feel it: the air wishing it was water.”
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex

“I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”
Anne Frank

“Hope was a luxury Melora could barely allow. It was more painful than sorrow, more hurtful than disappointment because it represented a potential: the potential for happiness. If only her happiness didn’t depend so much on other people, she’d be fine.”
Marie Zhuikov, Plover Landing

“It had been years since Melora listened to a symphony. She had been struck by how natural and organic the music was. She found herself thinking about how the instruments were all human powered—not one electrical impulse among them. Maybe that was why it was so easy to get transported by the music—to find oneself thinking about vast outdoor landscapes when the music played.”
Marie Zhuikov, Plover Landing
