A Gutenberg Bible on display. It's a large book with white pages growing yellowish with age. It sits on a stand, open near the middle. Two columns of black printed text are on each page. It's on display on a white surface of some kind with a descriptive placard in front.
A loaf of bread, partially sliced, sits on a wooden cutting board on a kitchen counter. A bread knife with a black handle lies in front of the bread. A number of slices of bread are neatly stacked opposite the open end of the loaf.
A sky at sunset: pale blue at the top, with clouds lit up in pinks and oranges below, a black horizon at the bottom. The black silhouettes of trees are spread across the foreground of the image, both the bare branches of deciduous trees and the more bushy outlines of conifers.
A tree bud, tiny green leaves just beginning to emerge, is entirely encased in clear ice. The ice forms a layer all the way down the branch.
A cocktail glass on a coaster on a windowsill. It's full of a pale golden liquid with just a hint of translucence and some sparkles. A deep red cherry on a cocktail skewer rests on the rim. The afternoon sun backlights the glass, reflecting off the surface of the drink and illuminating both the drink and the cherry slightly.
A gray and white cat sits on a windowsill, looking out. A mug of coffee with the text "UPSTATE OF MIND" rests on a coaster on the sill next to the cat. Through the window, a snow covered back yard is visible with a small swing set and yellow slide. The pale blue sky is visible through the naked trees, turning orange and gold near the horizon.
