stone

I don’t think that I would describe myself as a collector but in the past year or two, I do seem to have … collected … quite a few stones. Each has a different shape or thread of color. I can’t remember where I picked them up. I don’t expect to keep them forever. I like to give such things to little friends of the four to five-year old variety. Maybe one day they too will photograph their stony treasures.

sunday musings: are there fifty shades of blue?
Posted in Inspiration, tagged blue, colors, Inspiration, musings, Photography on August 12, 2012| 4 Comments »
I once wrote a short story that had so many different shades of blue sprinkled throughout that an editor wrote to ask, “Cynthia, do you think you can insert one more shade of blue?”
Now, she may have been kidding, but I can be slow about things like that. So I went online to a site (probably Pantone) and after careful consideration decided that the sea in my story would be cerulean. She accepted it.
Growing up in the foothills of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, it is hard not to love blue. Plenty of blues in New England of course but …
… I look forward to visiting the mountains of my childhood, and seeing if I can capture with my camera the beauty I remember in my dreams. You know I’ll be sure to share. 😉
butterfly distractions

While doing some very late spring cleaning, I came across two butterflies I created a few years ago. At the time I think I was at a multi-pronged fork in the road. As my mind mulled over next steps, I needed to keep my hands busy. This is what I produced.
