Illuminated Glass

If you are ever in Boston’s Copley Square and you only have time to enter two buildings to view the beauty of their interior art and architecture then I highly recommend two buildings that face each other: the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church. Now, if you only have time to enter one building — and the sun is shining so bright that it brings tears to your eyes — consider a tour of Trinity. Why? The stained glass windows. Yesterday was especially bright and beautiful in the city. And I was especially lucky to capture a few images of brightly illuminated glass.

Irene’s Impact (So Far)

So far, thankfully, Irene has had less impact than expected where I am. During a quick jaunt outside between bands of rain, I found broken branches, pools of water and a few people standing with faces to the air feeling the lingering breeze. I found myself looking down and this is what I saw:

Here are a few of the things inspiring me of late:
Sunlight shining through Japanese Maple leaves.
Japanese Noh robes as described in the book, Patterns and Poetry.
And always, always, always, trees – their green leaves, bare branches and beautiful barks.
Wild carrots, anyone?

Queen Anne’s Lace, also known as “wild carrot,” grows widely and wildly along the Charles River. It is so abundant that I sometimes ignore the sprawling plants, pushing it aside to get a glimpse of rarer, more colorful life. But sometimes the leaves and flowers of this plant catch the light in such a way that I cannot ignore their beauty.

Against the wall an Artist to Watch card featuring a tree frog as photographed by Jim Brandenburg. In the foreground, a crystal unicorn given to me many years ago by my nephew who remembered my love of the mythical beast. I don’t generally think of frogs and unicorns together but they seem quite a pair this morning.
Fruity Herbal Silhouettes

While I do not look forward to summer’s end, one of the things I do like about this time of year is how the light shifts coming in through Steve’s kitchen window. It creates shadows that make me pause in my day. Like these “fruity herbal silhouettes.”
What you’re seeing: At the window there sits a tall glass jar overflowing with thyme. Beneath the jar sits a small bowl of fruit and chile peppers picked up at the farmer’s market, and next to the bowl sits a small seedless watermelon. Beautiful colors in light and shadow.
