I was not very keen on pink as a child, probably because I was forced to wear it far too often. Now I am more appreciative of this color especially as it appears in nature. These are the petals of a ranunculus flower.

Here in New England we’re awaiting the arrival of what’s being called an epic snowstorm. A might coating of white will cover the land soon enough. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to the warm oranges and reds of the moro or blood orange. Given the amount of digging I’ll be doing over the next few days, I’ll need all the Vitamin C I can get. Wherever you are in the world, be well. 😉

Those are the magical words that collage artist Zoe Langosy will sometimes say after viewing my nature-themed photographs. Most recently they were uttered after showing her the following image from an impromptu hike through the Blue Hills, of deep golden light falling upon a stand of birch trees.
It is my continuing pleasure to view such images through Zoe’s eyes, to learn how to see textures and patterns, and then to imagine how such textures and patterns can become part of a larger work with its own story. The story of this woman on a boat and a coyote, you will have to wait for Zoe to share as she continues with this work in progress. Stay tuned! Meanwhile, you can read this post about how we’ve collaborated in the past. And you can see more of her art on this Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/LangosyArts

an orange balloon floating down the center of the street
the canoe behind the house, perched against an old tree everyone feared would fall. the tree remained standing but its few remaining leaves fell in the wind.

luckily I love orange …

… because I am having an orange day. At least that’s how I’ve decided to define this day, by the color orange. I mean, I didn’t expect it to be a green day or a blue one. I knew that I would work with the color orange at least for a bit. On the list of to-do’s that I created last night, I had planned to post the following image with the title “a bit of autumn colors on a plate.”
Yet the day began with me finding a funny bug on a window so I posted that picture instead and likewise little else has unfolded this day as I imagined it might last night. Nothing horrible has happened. Just the beautiful unexpected complexities of life that can leave one breathless. But as I raced about, my eyes kept being drawn to sunlight striking orange items. And finally, as I stopped to catch my breath, I gave myself permission to take the time to snap a few photos of the orange world deigning to reveal itself to me.
Of course then I gave myself permission to play with a few other colors in the autumn palette.
I managed to find at least one leaf. Imagine that.
And there were a few extra tomatoes from the dish I made last night.
Now as I tuck my camera away, I don’t know that I am anymore calm but my head is certainly filled with orange-hued and golden thoughts. It is indeed a lovely colorful day. I hope you’re having a good one too. 😉
a mysterious fellow

I found this fellow as I was opening the window this morning. Just look at those lovely legs. If anyone knows the name of this insect, please share. 😉
