just sunlight on a wall

I was talking with my brother on the phone this morning. Since the two of us have been known to converse for quite a while, I found myself a chair. It’s the chair where I normally look through the rippled glass window …
but this morning my eyes rested upon a neighboring wall where sunlight played.
The show didn’t last for long, just long enough, and here are a few scenes from the drama.
through that window again, with the rippled glass

multiplication of little streams

The story behind the image: Steve and I were taking a short walk along Revere Beach. The tide had receded quite a bit. He followed the water. I stayed on shore searching out seashells and stones and wishing I’d worn a thicker sweater. As he returned to me, he suddenly paused and shouted, “Come here. You have to see this.” I raced over and looked down at where he was pointing. Lines and curves in the sand? “Bifurcation diagrams in nature,” he exclaimed. I peered more closely, frowning. He tried explaining the mathematics of what he saw for me. “It’s like the multiplication of little streams leading to chaos.” “Well,” I said slowly, “I’m reminded of those Asian landscape paintings of mountains with cascading waterfalls over the rocks.” We studied the sand for a bit longer, he helping to point out different ways to frame photographs of the bifurcation he was seeing, and we both appreciating our different perspectives of the world.
A poster print of this “mountainous” scene is available online here.
a mood of the mind

I’m not completely sure what Thoreau meant by that phrase but those are the words that surface as I review these photos. They do capture a bit of the mood of my mind.
Appreciating the light. Both intrigued and challenged by the darkness. In an abstract space, and feeling like that’s not a bad space to be in creatively, but …
… also knowing that, especially on a Monday morning, one needs to find some focus. Or fake it really well.
I’m hoping another cup of coffee might help. Have a good day, folks. 😉

one day …

One day, I will move from this house in Somerville with its many windows. I will no longer be able to climb its spiral staircase to the top floor and from there to peer out the old window at the towering oak. I will no longer be able to train my camera up through that tree’s branches into the sky. But that day has not yet come. So on this bright September morn, I am grateful for this window, this oak and the blue of the sky beyond. Have a good day, folks.
