During the photo shoot for the white series, a petal became dislodged. And what an unexpected treat.

A splurge at the grocery store. I probably needed butter more but somehow I could not walk away from that bouquet of white tulips.
still growing …

New posters available in my zazzle shop. Just a few African violet petals, some shadows resting on snow and a rainbow cupped within a shell. As I originally studied these images, I thought them sensuous and I was reminded of something James Baldwin wrote in The Fire Next Time, “To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.” I sometimes worry that I am procrastinating as I watch sunlight settle upon a leaf … but then I just shake myself and become thankful that I could be present in the moment. 😉
even when no rainbows were sought …

… it became a game to walk along the beach for a stretch and then to whip around and see where the sun was layering its light.
can a rainbow always be found?

Probably not, but it can be fun looking. These slices of color were found inside shells that lay on Revere Beach.
wonderfully out of focus

through two panes of old glass
rippled and bubbled
branches on display, barely lit by the setting sun
while reflected in the glass light from the lamp indoors
my camera in that moment out of focus
but my sight as I sat in a chair across the room
admiring such complex layers of light and life
quite clear quite clear
a little dance

At first I saw a coral beneath the sea. Then, peering closer, I thought of ghostly maidens doing a little dance beneath the full moon. In fact, they are mushrooms growing in a “mushroom mini farm.” The first crop looked just like the image of oyster mushrooms on the box cover. This second round … well, I’m not so sure if what’s growing is edible but it sure is interesting visually.
