I call this image “the vellum couple.” I see a man and woman in deep conversation. You know THAT conversation at the end of the movie when the couple has come to a fork in the road. Despite the title of this post, I think the couple is more likely Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne than Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Let’s just say I grew up watching a lot of black and white movies with sweeping music. In fact, the image is of two flowers as photographed through a sheet of vellum. If you’d like to see additional images, please visit this temporary gallery. Most of the images are of plants — ranunculus, nasturtium, poinsettia, and others — as viewed through the vellum. There are a few images like the one below with vellum as background.
Here in New England we’re awaiting the arrival of what’s being called an epic snowstorm. A might coating of white will cover the land soon enough. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to the warm oranges and reds of the moro or blood orange. Given the amount of digging I’ll be doing over the next few days, I’ll need all the Vitamin C I can get. Wherever you are in the world, be well. 😉
