bizarre beauty

Last summer, a large bee and I had an altercation in the kitchen. In short, it could not manage to exit out the window through which it had entered and so it now rests in a jar, frozen in time, quite beautiful, I think, if a little macabre. Off and on, I have tried photographing the creature but nothing clicked until yesterday when the sun shone “just right.” Flowers both real and artificial reflected on the surface of the jar. The bee’s wings glowed with iridescent light. Factoring in curvature and irregular thickness of the glass … well, it was a sight that made me grab my camera.
The biologist in me is kind of curious what will happen over time, but likely what will is happen is that later this spring I will bury the bee in a pot full of flowers or maybe under that big oak tree. We’ll see …

A small, powerful detail in a corner of the stained glass window, David’s Charge to Solomon, at Trinity Church in Copley Square. A little dark but I hope to work with the image over time. Meanwhile, learn more about Trinity Church, its history and architectural tours via this link. Have a good weekend. 😉
there’s a little bit of green in the mix

when I went up the stairs this morning …

… I didn’t notice anything. I didn’t even take a peek at the plant. I took it for granted what must be in the pot.
It wasn’t until I descended the stairs with eyes wider open. That was when I noticed the bloom.
It had not been there yesterday of that I am sure because I remember glancing at the plant and wondering how much longer it would survive. I had looked but I hadn’t paid attention. I hadn’t even noticed the bud.
It was an inspiring sight to start off the day.
attempted evolution?

Yes, indeed, it is that time of year once more. Somerville Open Studios 2015 is taking place May 2 + May 3, with sneak previews on May 1. I am honored to have this piece appearing in the SOS Volunteer Show held at the Bloc 11 restaurant in Union Square April 8 – May 20. If you click on the image, you’ll see that it is a photograph of the oak tree that towers over my house. Really. The view is through the kitchen window after the window’s covering of ice had melted. I’ve yet to name the image though one friend suggested “attempted evolution,” as if something were trying to become a tree. I’ve got until April 1 to settle upon a name. I’m open to more suggestions. Meanwhile, more information about Open Studios events and activities later in the spring. 😉
last days of the tulip

It is a sad title but it has been a beautiful journey. An unexpected gift from a friend of a bouquet of tulips with encouragement to photograph its form. And so I have over the past couple of weeks. But these may be the final images, I think, pink petals resting in a gold goblet catching the last of winter’s light.
