The Party's Over

(Backblipped image; journal entry written January 9, 2015)

Heady stuff, being the #2 photo on page 1 of "Popular"--whatever that means--I much preferred "Spotlight". 

Not this photo--the one of the three cormorants (January 6), which first appeared on page 6 of "Popular" on that date, and moved up to page 1 two days later. It disappeared late afternoon on January 9. Many thanks to all who viewed it and left comments, stars, and hearts--I'm deeply touched.

This retrospective is self-indulgent in the extreme when compared to what has transpired in France, particularly Paris, over the the past few days. For now, that nightmare is over, but I don't think anyone believes that it was the first and last attack of this kind that we'll see.
