Traveling by foot to the Mystic River can be a bit harrowing from where I live. There’s nothing like crossing a major highway, at a legitimate pedestrian crossing, without a crosswalk signal. But when you reach the river, it is worth it.

a figure in ice?

I don’t know … I feel like I see a figure in the icicle. A drooping shoulder. A lean torso narrowing into nothingness as the sun melts its frame. Perhaps I have been reading too many fantasy novels. What do you see? 😉
beautiful parts

A story inspired by a 5-year old in love with “Once upon a time a little girl …” 😉
Once upon a time a little girl picked a bouquet of flowers. She put them in a vase of water and placed the vase next to a window. Each flower upon its sturdy stem was beautiful in the sunlight. But then time passed and the flowers changed no matter how many times she added water. One morning she brushed her hand across the dying blooms and a whole flower fell to the table.
It broke revealing all its many parts that had made a single whole.
The girl gently touched the fragile pieces. While she admired their different shapes and colors and textures, she wanted her flower back as a single beautiful thing.
And so she picked up the stigma and stamen and petals and leaves and she tried to put the puzzle back together again. It was, of course, an impossible task. As she stood there at the window trying to decide if she should be very angry or very sad or just a little crabby, a ray of light touched a petal and the withering stems. “It’s still beautiful,” the girl realized with a smile, “Just in a different way.”

and by this river of light
the petal sipped its fill of bright water
until it too glowed with the ferocity of the sun
a river of light …

stumbling along

Yesterday I went for a walk by the river, and for the most part I kept stumbling upon beautiful abstraction.

Remember the post with individual petals? Well, here is what they looked like before they fell apart. 😉
by the seashore

I was lucky enough to travel to the seashore this weekend. Like all of the other little kids, I found myself filling my pockets with seashells. Today as the sun shone brightly throughout the house, I took photos of the shells in a series of different poses, so to speak. As with the sunflowers mentioned earlier, I leaned toward the abstract. Still working with the images, but here are few. We’ll see what the rest of the summer holds in store.
