Three Yellow - I see Three - Billboards and Signs
I like the way my brain works when I'm not thinking.
My brain tends to group in 3 when I make photos. I only see it later when downloading the photos.
3 yellows.
3 streetlights.
3 planes.
This is working intuitively. My decisions are all made by inner sense and recognizing patterns or insights that may not be immediately obvious.

Five Doors - I see Five
The number Five is critical to balance and hamony. It is showcased in the Natural World with many flowers presenting with five petals. Know your Sacred Geometry.
Alveta and Victor's Home - Penrose - North St. Louis
Hopefully Chris Naffziger who did the research on their home will share what he discovered on his blog, St. Louis Patina. I had been driving along Cora north of Natural Bridge delivering donations when I encountered their 1800s mansion.

Intraocular Lens
I had the right eye a few days ago. My eye is still dilated. Colors are outstanding due to my eye remaining dilated. This does explain the intense colors of acid in my mid teens.

In the Beginning of the Tornado Aftermath
During the first weeks after the tornado hundreds showed up to help including church groups from rural areas in the Midwest. People organized themselves into groups to provide donations and food. Many people like Chad Jackson and Jake Wheeler started tarping roofs. For free. Others delivered meals.
Some took photos and left. A friend asked me WTF was I doing 'up in north city at night.'
The West Gangway Windows
In the early morning sunlight bounces off the brick house next to us and into the room. With no direct light the room slowly brightens as the earth turns. This is 8 AM.

The Royal Jubilee Singers of East St. Louis, IL
Spotted in an IL thrit store. I wish I had bought it but I was distracted by my mission of buying up candles on May 17 for NSTL tornado victims.
