For most of the day, a rainy day with little light coming in through the windows.
A perfect time to sit with old paints and new bits of board …
… and to imagine what might be seen on a brighter day.
Tomorrow back to the photography and writing, but it is fun to play with other forms. 😉

Part of the genesis of the story referenced in the previous post, about The Long Walk, was an accidental 26 mile walk I took a few months ago. Now, people keep asking me, “How do you accidentally walk a marathon?” Well, let me tell you, it is possible, if you keep wondering what’s around the bend.

Call and Response with the Sun*
Sun, will you shine in my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, will you shine, brightening my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, will you shine in my sky?
Lord, yes indeed, I will try.
Sun, my sweet sun, will your light fill this world?
Yes, Lord! Yes, indeed, I will try.
*Lyrics composed while sittin’ in the sun.

A few blossoms found by the seashore this weekend. They suddenly glowed in a shaft of afternoon light.
One of those unexpected sights that made many a person pause, and one older gentleman even exclaimed, “What a glorious day it has turned out to be.”

I know. That was horrible. But I just couldn’t help myself with that title. I’ll try to be more disciplined with my words next time. Meanwhile, I hope you have had a good day. 😉

A friend picked these up at a local farmers market. I thought she described them as currants but someone else called them gooseberries.
While their tart taste is not to my liking, I do appreciate the variation in shades of color.
I especially like the intricacy of the husks.
I probably won’t purchase anymore but this little batch did make for a great procrastination photo shoot. 😉
