prickly

I ended the year feeling a bit prickly. But I do not like to stew in negativity and so this morning I decided to spend a few moments photographing the literal prickles on the few cacti I have scattered about my home.
No problems were solved but the act of movement, of looking outside of myself, was a wonderful exercise. And, to be honest, I think I’ve taken these cacti for granted. Tucked in various corners, they need so little care that I sometimes forget about them as I fawn over delicate sprouts and herbs and the occasional flowers and veggies I grow indoors.
I’m glad they were there on this New Year’s Day. 😉

I started with sweet marjoram but …

It’s mid-July, and here in New England, we’re still talking about this past winter. The seemingly unending piles of snow will long live in the memory, and for me, so will the unexpected creativity born out of solitude watching things grow even in the dead of winter. I’m honored to have a series of images from that period featured in the latest Alimentum The Literature of Food. Enjoy!
