Image needs a good title

I don't have a title for this one. I found it, when I was tidying up my hard drive, in a very aptly named folder: "to do". I've been doing all week, in between drugging myself with a cocktail of cold remedies that have kept me upright and somewhat functional.

I got feedback on my chapter this week, unanimous in advice to change my "voice." The direction is so different, and yet so familiar, that I set aside the first chapter entirely and wrote a whole new one. Yesterday. It's shorter (a good thing) and I like it better. That I wrote it in 6 hours instead of 6 weeks tells me it's more authentic, closer to my story about "my" highway. I like it, and I'm grateful for the push. I'll be sending it back out soon.

As part of the feedback process, I also put together the entire collection of images, south to north. Surprisingly, even I hadn't seen it all as one piece until Wednesday. The gaping holes are now obvious to me, which is another good thing. And some things I thought were mission-critical don't seem so important; the rest is doable. I still have a few thousand miles to go.

Any guesses as to where this image was shot? Or suggestions on what to call it?

Very cool. Looks like a Dale Chihuly sculpture reflecting off the pavement in front of Symphony Hall....

Name.... Reflections on glass?

Ann:

Exactly the spot. After a rain storm. I want to go back there, but the intersection of rain and symphany hall open and my schedule hasn't happened yet. Sometime, maybe this rainy season, which seems to have started yesterday.

BWJones:

Go now! It is soaked out there, but just make sure you bring that big baggie!

Bill Wilson:

Ann, I would title it: "The Vermilion Vermiform".

Deann:

Ann,

I believe this is a reflection of the Chihuly sculpture also. Very nice.

How about calling it - Fire Straws in Water - or something like that.

Take Care, Deann
