Detail from Purity by John La Farge
Designed and executed by artists and stained glass manufacturers like John La Farge, Clayton and Bell, Burlison and Grylls, and others, these particular stained glass windows at Trinity Church in the City of Boston are “hidden gems.”

They are located in the Parish House. In part, due to renovation activities at different times over the past 100 years, some of the windows are now in stairwells, like Purity as well as John Hardman and Company’s Woods Window …

others are in restricted areas like Ephphatha by Burlison and Grylls …

and others in areas dedicated to use by parishoners of all ages like The Sunday-School Windows by Clayton & Bell.
They are not windows accessible as part of a traditional art and architecture tour of the sanctuary, but it has been my pleasure this summer to roam the halls a bit with my camera and to share this glimpse of details from some of the windows. Postcards and prints, and information about tours, are available at the Trinity Book Shop.

… I do see nebula …
… and supernovas …
… and all sorts of stellar events …
… all within a single leaf, found on the ground yesterday, as I walked home.
And as I carried that single leaf in one hand and all of my groceries in the other hand, I had to chuckle because I was reminded of how my parents worried when I went out walking by myself. They thought that my head would be lost in the clouds. How right they were. Anyway … have a good day, folks. 😉
fallen leaves and blossoms
Posted in Inspiration, Nature Notes, tagged blossoms, colors, indoor gardening, Inspiration, leaves, nature, orchids, Photography, plants, textures on August 6, 2014| 3 Comments »
As I was racing around this morning, I realized that one of the orchid plants had dropped two leaves while the second plant had dropped a leaf as well. New leaves grew on both so they still hang on but I suspect I’ve been too free with the watering pail.
As I gathered the leaves I could not help but notice the lovely colors and textures of their dying flesh.
And then I remembered that when their blossoms had fallen earlier in the summer, I’d collected them in a small dish to see what might happen to the petals over time. Out of sight, out of mind … but I found the dish and this is what the petals look like.
