[OT from cottage renovations]
there are times when goin' daffy makes perfect sense. a week at the 7th District police station resulted in a successful field deployment for the first part of the city to cut over to the new system but it made for long hours. the weekend provided chances to ramp down to normal circadian rhythms and to see what had been going on -- a great deal, as it turned out -- while my attention was directed elsewhere.

the Circle
this picture took a day to get. I had seen it on Saturday just as the light shifted away from this composition so there was nothing to do but try again 23¾ hours later. a thin margin is better when it's positive rather than negative, and it's easier to wait for a day than for a year for lighting and conditions to converge again (this I know from having found it out the hard way).
the glow of this daffodil in the afternoon light and the combination of shadow and texture was worth the wait.
here's the same flower, seen in context with crabapple budding overhead and cottage façades in the background.
