fine lines and edges

I do wonder if people think I’m crazy as I walk through downtown Boston and other city centers picking up leaves and sticking them in any available pocket.
I keep thinking I should plan a specific leaf-picking adventure with a proper bucket or plastic bag as container. But somehow it is more fun to be walking along to work or to shop and to be open to the possibility of finding … something … along the way.
Of course it is easy to behave that way when the sun is shining and autumn leaves glow like jewels falling from the sky.
I’ll be curious what’s to be found on the ground this day. Hope your day goes well wherever you are in the world. 😉
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. 😉

Colors Around the Neighborhood

I took these photos around my neighborhood over the past week.
Hard to believe that there’s a chance of snow over the next few days.

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.
The Geisha Completed!

It was a pleasure participating in Somerville Open Studios 2011. I met a lot of wonderful people. A more detailed post about outcomes I may share later. For those of you not able to attend the event, the two Geisha, representing the overlap of the four seasons, were beautifully presented by artist Zoe Langosy. A few signed, limited-edition prints are still available for purchase. For more information, contact the artist directly through her website http://www.zoe.langosy.net/folio.php or send me a note that I will share with her.
