Remember the orange tulip?
Well, as the petals have dried, all these other colors have been revealed.

I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.

Those are the magical words that collage artist Zoe Langosy will sometimes say after viewing my nature-themed photographs. Most recently they were uttered after showing her the following image from an impromptu hike through the Blue Hills, of deep golden light falling upon a stand of birch trees.
It is my continuing pleasure to view such images through Zoe’s eyes, to learn how to see textures and patterns, and then to imagine how such textures and patterns can become part of a larger work with its own story. The story of this woman on a boat and a coyote, you will have to wait for Zoe to share as she continues with this work in progress. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, you can read this post about how we’ve collaborated in the past. And you can see more of her art on this Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LangosyArts
“beauty is fractal”

That is what that science guy of mine said over breakfast this morning. “Beauty is fractal. No matter the scale at which we view a thing, it is beautiful.” We weren’t specifically talking about flowers but we could have been. There is more I’d like to write about that statement but why when someone else has written so … beautifully … about “the mystery of a flower.” If you have five minutes and eleven seconds today, check out this video and hear the words of physicist Richard Feynman on Beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRmbwczTC6E&list=PL92F9FC91BBE2210D

Are the holidays especially hectic for you too? If so, I highly recommend you steal away to a quiet corner and read this image essay by poet and artist Donald Langosy. A treat for the eyes and soul, I’d say. 😉 http://talkingwriting.com/image-essay-donald-langosy/

drifting down
covering the mostly naked branches of trees in the Middlesex Fells
mostly naked I say because up high leaves still bathed in the fading light
until even that light disappeared and all that remained was a transient glimmer of gold in the air
and a dusting of dark rose upon the land
