To bring you this photograph, Dear Reader, I braved the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune or at least skepticism on the part of my loved ones, provoked merely by my taking seventy-four exposures, each different in the fast-setting sun, of this little tableau.
Special thanks are due Mom and Lauren who, rolling their eyes only moderately, held some decorations aside at length which were hanging in the window and casting shadows unhelpful to the visual effect. Floral arrangement by Jean Bray.
