This morning while gazing out the laundry room window as I folded towels, my eye was caught by the interesting shadows, reflections, and light patterns on the wet asphalt outside my home. Folding abruptly stopped, camera was located, and the shooting commenced. This is how it typically happens for me. Some might call […]
