rain drops did not keep falling on my head but …

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 1, 2013| 2 Comments »

… they did keep falling gently into the puddles.  The puddles had been formed earlier in the morning when the heavy rains fell.  As the rain eased I decided to see what would happen if I tried to photograph the ripples upon the waters.  Afterwards as I played with brightness, contrast and color, the images  reminded me of a watery universe.  I’m not sure why my mind is in the stars of late, but … I am going to go with the flow and so I have created a temporary gallery pairing these water universe pics with my black sands universe series.  Enjoy. 😉

the smell of space

Salt, cinnamon, smoky paprika and a few peppercorns.  The best part about adding these seasonings into my black sands universe is that every time I reshape things a wonderful aroma arises.

FYI, here’s another cool site for actual space images:  http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/archive/top100/

the oak tree

Posted in Branches, Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged , , , , , , , , , on July 24, 2013| 4 Comments »

I suppose I would have found more calm and focus sitting quietly at the base of the tree but …

it was more fun to race around peering deep into its canopy …

and, in the shifting light, not to worry about focus at all.

the sun was shining as the rain fell

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on July 22, 2013| 8 Comments »

As soon as we returned home from the beach, the rains began but the sun was still shining so bright.  It made each drop sparkle like the proverbial diamond.  With no expectation of outcomes, it was fun to lean out the window and photograph the falling water.

leaves in the copley square fountain

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 30, 2013| 4 Comments »

Downpours have been threatening for days in the Boston area, yet little rain has fallen so far.  So yesterday I was able to sit by the water fountain in Copley Square as I ate my lunch.  A warm gusty wind blew through the square sending a shower of leaves into the water.  It was fun to hold tight to my sandwich with one hand while trying to snap photos of leaves sailing by.  Quite unexpectedly,a lady decided to strip and bathe in the fountain at the same time.  I decided to focus on the leaves. 😉

images of light dancing on water

When I walked the river’s edge last Saturday, I kept peering deep into the water looking for fish and turtles.  But the sun was so hot and there were so many canoeists in the water.  It became quite clear that beneath those churned up waters that I would be spying no fish or turtles. So I paid attention to the surface.

the last of the dandelion

Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on June 20, 2013| 5 Comments »

As spring draws to a conclusion, the last of my dandelions have fallen apart helped by a sudden gust of wind from an open window.  I wonder what the summer will blow my way.  Meanwhile here’s a gallery of the dandelion images.  FYI, the folks at Talking Writing Magazine paired some of the images with an essay by Fran Cronin about a mother letting her daughter go as She’s Leaving Home for college.  An excellent read.  Check it out.  Meanwhile have a good Thursday!
