And in the bucket where my mini crop of potatoes once grew, a wonderfully gnarly growth of nasturtium. No blooms quite yet, but I’m waiting.

Dispersion. The separation of visible light into different colors. This is simply sunlight shining through a glass of sparkling water. What a wonderful world. 😉
and this too is ice upon the window

Indeed, ice did cover the windows this morning creating beautiful backgrounds, far off landscapes and whole universes.
I even found a rainbow.

One of the challenges I set for myself at the end of last year was to practice what I was preaching which was encouraging other people to submit their creative works to literary and commercial publications. Towards that end, I submitted three images of a Somerville sunset to the online literary magazine, The Critical Pass. I was honored that one of the images was selected to appear in the current issue, viewable via this link. While, if you choose, you can easily discover which of these three images was selected, I hope you’ll have time to browse the other works in this issue, as well, from the thoughtful Letter from the Editor to a wonderful interview with a 15-year old poet (pp. 18-20).
FYI, each of these images is available in my Zazzle Shop here, here and here.
practicing patience

It is an everlasting gift given to me by my parents. An appreciation for gardening. I’m grateful that so far no matter where I have lived I have been able to play with seeds and soil. Along the way, I have always learned something. One of those recent learnings was the genesis of this new photo essay, Practicing Patience, now appearing on Creativity Portal. I hope you enjoy.

winter growth

The instructions say to plant seeds in a shallow dish and move as needed for best light. Instructions I can follow! Not sure how I’m going to serve up this first little harvest. Maybe with slices of avocado and tomatoes on toasted bread rubbed with garlic. Theoretically, this cress is a spicy herb. We shall see. I’m not sure that I grow enough at a time to benefit from the nutritional value, but the simple act of planting a few seeds in a bit of dirt and watching the sprouts rise in the sun, that’s worth the effort alone.
