… I didn’t notice anything. I didn’t even take a peek at the plant. I took it for granted what must be in the pot.
It wasn’t until I descended the stairs with eyes wider open. That was when I noticed the bloom.
It had not been there yesterday of that I am sure because I remember glancing at the plant and wondering how much longer it would survive. I had looked but I hadn’t paid attention. I hadn’t even noticed the bud.
It was an inspiring sight to start off the day.

Yes, indeed, it is that time of year once more. Somerville Open Studios 2015 is taking place May 2 + May 3, with sneak previews on May 1. I am honored to have this piece appearing in the SOS Volunteer Show held at the Bloc 11 restaurant in Union Square April 8 – May 20. If you click on the image, you’ll see that it is a photograph of the oak tree that towers over my house. Really. The view is through the kitchen window after the window’s covering of ice had melted. I’ve yet to name the image though one friend suggested “attempted evolution,” as if something were trying to become a tree. I’ve got until April 1 to settle upon a name. I’m open to more suggestions. Meanwhile, more information about Open Studios events and activities later in the spring. 😉

… to have the opportunity to photograph such beauty in so many forms.
I’ve noticed some activity at my local flower shop. Spring really is coming, isn’t it? Be well. 😉

When I saw these out of focus leaves — their form, shape, the melding of colors — I could not help but be reminded of the artwork of Tamara De Lempicka and her paintings, full of color, and the fall of light and shadows such that some things are revealed and the rest is left entirely to imagination.
As I was trying to learn more about the artist, I came across this website produced by family and friends. I especially enjoy the artwork page providing the opportunity to scroll through, by decades, her life story in words and images. Enjoy.
