A mountainous landscape in some far away place. Stars shine in the dark waters flowing past rocky shores. At least that’s what I see on screen.
But in reality?
In fact, the landscape is two pieces of paper juxtaposed. I had been working with paper on the kitchen table when afternoon sunlight hit these two — a textured brown and a sheet of black — in such a way that I could not help but snap a photo. Later, on the computer, I desaturated the color and then my imagination took over. 😉

A leaf found in a field on the way home. I let it sit in the window a few days to dry. I still have it, tucked safely away, so we’ll see how it continues to evolve.

When I made my way to the Charles River Esplanade after lunch, I anticipated photographing a few ducks, a tree or two and some reflections in the water. Amazingly enough, my plans went awry as I found myself mostly fascinated by blades of grass. Imagine that. 😉

I received an unexpected gift today. A package from a family member who has been dealing with great tragedy. Yet she’d taken the time to send me something out of the blue. On the back of the package she had written that she had found the enclosed item in her father’s effects and thought that I might like it. I opened the package to discover a magazine celebrating African American history. The words quoted on the cover struck me, and made me want to share (and pair) with an image I took of a dusty toy. Old words but still quite fitting in these times. Have a good day, folks.
“We may have all come in different ships but we’re in the same boat now.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
