A friend wants to use some seashell photos in her artwork. I’ll be curious what she creates. Meanwhile I’m having a grand time revisiting my shell collection. This shell reminds me of the sky at sunset. What do you think? 😉
Clouds

A friend just shared the extended trailer for the movie Cloud Atlas, based on the novel by David Mitchell. After only thirty seconds of viewing, I knew the trailer was all the excuse I needed to share some cloud photos. Mostly taken in the Greater Boston area. Enjoy!
As for that trailer, if you’d like to view for yourself, just click here. A bit long but darned inspiring. So, while my creative procrastination most recently was photographing a plum, I think today it will most certainly be an afternoon walk with my camera pointed at the sky. Hmmm, that’s probably why my family worries about me when I’m crossing the road. 😉

plum(b)ing the depths

One morning I purchased a single plum. It was an impulse buy. I haven’t eaten plums in years but I thought I might use the fruit as inspiration. In the end, it was my antidote for mounting procrastination. You see, I had a project due soon. Amazing how strong the urge to take a long walk when you need to stay seated and finish a writing assignment. I couldn’t go for a walk but …
… I decided I could rise from my chair on occasion and take a photo of the plum. I did so throughout the afternoon. No fine art produced but the movement was a release of sorts.
When I finished the writing assignment, I ate the plum, a final dose of a sweet treat that helped me stay focused just enough. I think I might buy an apple today!
a bit like my day …

I was curious how the Bear Sunflower would look in black and white.
View more images in the pale as well as in color via this temporary sunflower gallery. Enjoy!
too pretty to eat?

That thought crossed my mind for a split second as I walked through the Copley Square Farmers Market this past Friday. The afternoon light was striking the fruits, vegetables and flowers in such a way that they become culinary art.
And there is no question that the vendors from the various farms know how to display their wares.
Though I could not pause to purchase anything it was a visual delight and welcome moment of calm to walk the square. I’m looking forward to next week.
simple gifts

Last night, a very young friend gave me a gift. A long-stemmed sunflower with a very bear-y name. I told her that I was going to photograph it. “Why?” she asked, as little friends of that age ask quite often. “Why are you going to photograph it?” I told her so that I could share the beauty of her gift with others. And so here it is.
I took its picture throughout the day, as the sun shone through different windows, striking the many petals in many different ways.
It even seemed to bow its head as I moved it around the room as if to say, “Oh, yes, please do put me into the sun’s warm rays.”
At last I put it back upon its perch on a table covered with fellow plants. There it sits awaiting a new day of light to fall upon its form. Perhaps I’ll take its picture yet again.
blooms by the roadside

There’s a wooded path near my house that takes about five minutes to walk in one direction. It is amazing what’s to be found in such a short length.
