Found in a field in Maine. I have no idea what this plant is but thought it rather luminous. If you know, please share.

The main thought that comes to mind as I finally settle down to sort through all of the pictures I took during a 2-day stay in Maine is: how in the world am I going to organize these images? Which images do I keep and which ones do I discard?

Which ones will become prints versus a note card?

Which ones might inspire a scarf?

It is a wonderfully calming challenge to have in a world so full of chaos. Once I settle on a plan for the photos you know I’ll be sure to share. Meanwhile, good thoughts and best wishes go out to all those struggling in this moment.

It’s going to take a while to download all of the pictures I took this past weekend in Maine. Until then, I’ll share the image of this little fellow watching me from his rocky perch in Acadia.

I’m telling you. There’s a lot to be discovered just standing and watching a patch of morning glories. Have a good Friday!

From her lovely garden in Brooklyn. These that weren’t eaten on the road back to Boston were sliced up with some cucumbers and celery and tossed with oil and vinegar. Good stuff! 🙂
