Before journeying to the Brooks Estate, I stood in the living room holding my camera, staring out through that rippled glass of which I’ve written so often.  And as I swayed just a bit to change the angle of my view … well, the reflection of the white curtains in the glass and the twisting shapes of the trees, still mostly bare of any leaves, through the glass … they reminded me of many things, from running water to ballet dancers moving across a stage.  I could even see singers with hands raised high and voices ringing out in praise.

… I didn’t notice anything. I didn’t even take a peek at the plant. I took it for granted what must be in the pot.

It wasn’t until I descended the stairs with eyes wider open.  That was when I noticed the bloom.

It had not been there yesterday of that I am sure because I remember glancing at the plant and wondering how much longer it would survive.  I had looked but I hadn’t paid attention.  I hadn’t even noticed the bud.

Yes, indeed, it is that time of year once more.  Somerville Open Studios 2015 is taking place May 2 + May 3, with sneak previews on May 1.  I am honored to have this piece appearing in the SOS Volunteer Show held at the Bloc 11 restaurant in Union Square April 8 – May 20.  If you click on the image, you’ll see that it is a photograph of the oak tree that towers over my house.  Really. The view is through the kitchen window after the window’s covering of ice had melted.  I’ve yet to name the image though one friend suggested “attempted evolution,” as if something were trying to become a tree.  I’ve got until April 1 to settle upon a name. I’m open to more suggestions.  Meanwhile, more information about Open Studios events and activities later in the spring. 😉

Trees reflected in the waters during that recent trip to Ireland.  That’s one good thing about being a bit snowbound.  Gives you lots of time to sit and sort through photos.

Of course that could be me trying to find the bright side as we brace for the next set of winter storms.
