We are finally over the hump and days are getting longer once again. We've earned an extra 23 seconds today, tomorrow it will be 36. I'll be traveling a bit for the holidays so the posts are going to be few and far between until the new year.

I often have photos that I would like to share on this website but don't because I like to edit fairly strictly in the portfolios. I'm trying out a compromise by adding a gallery meant as an accompaniment to this journal called the 'Sauntering Gallery.' Hopefully it will be just that—not a formal portfolio, but a place for the occasional or casual image that is either topical or of passing interest, even something I may have snapped while actually sauntering around. You'll find a new link on the left which will take you there. I intend to treat it as a queue—once it's full new images will push old images off the end (maybe that makes it a stack). To kick things off I've uploaded some images to capture the season taken from walks around home in the winter.

Happy Holidays.
