… her eyes fell upon guess what?

A bit wind-tossed but apparently still quite a delight. That’s right, a dandelion.

Tasty!

I wrote about it on this blog last year or so ago. Of sitting by the pond in Copley Square on my lunch break. It was a bright sunny day. The surface of the water mirrored all that was around from trees to buildings. But of course the water was clear and so you could see the leaves and other detritus on the pond’s bottom. But the water circulates as well and so things floated on the surface. In the end there was a wonderful layering of light and color that became bright ribbons as the wind added even more motion.

One of those photos is the source of inspiration for this silk chiffon scarf. Now available for purchase here: http://bit.ly/2GcHRIf

In the morning I like to sit at the kitchen table with my coffee and look out the window at the oak tree. In the time I’ve lived in this house it has grown significantly. Its branches have grown long and wide. Throughout the winter I watch the different birds, and squirrels, and occasional raccoon, rest upon its bare branches. But now, as it should be, spring green leaves are finally growing. And even as I relish the transformation taking place in front of me I have to acknowledge that my hallway garden that receives so much light in winter because of bare branches is about to become a shade garden and so I have some plants to creatively move around. 🙂

I’m really pleased with the new canvas bag that arrived in the mail featuring a photograph I took of blossoming branches along the Charles River. You can find this tote and others featuring nature images here: http://bit.ly/2qBb3UD

The silk chiffon scarf featuring tree branches along the Mystic River can be purchased at the shop at Trinity Church.
