ELK
REFLECTIONS OF HER
sitting
across from my older daughter
with my camera
using
the window like a mirror
to reflect her as
we talk...
laugh....
create....
birds
along side the reflected paper whites
with the faint outline of
the outside arrangement
in the dark.

2011 PROJECT Simple Birds . Simple Words
2010 PROJECT Red or Gray Black and White
2009 PROJECT Table by a Window
Blue Birds Beginning
Awhile ago I entered the Green Giveaway here and was humbled when "ELK" was chosen as a winner. The prize of a charming frame arrived wrapped in such a colorful box
all of the blues and greens that speak to me, along with a perky blue jay on the card inside.
It became delightfully apparent that this day was going to continue to be special beyond the framed photo wrapped in a wonderful box. As I opened the blinds in the family room later that afternoon he was lounging on the oak tree branch AND I actually was holding my camera, wonder of wonders I caught this!
Now, nearly a month later I am creating hand made birds for a fun project which will be the "Red or Gray Give Day" on Tuesday. Be happy wherever you may be perched!
I am a red wagon!
PANSIES delicate, vibrant, strong, transparent, supple

Table by a Window
I live in a 35 year old house that has issues....but don't most houses have a few? people too? Anyway, one of the more enjoyable features are the large windows looking out into the backyard. Southern exposure fills the family and dining room with light which we relish all year round.
In the dining room right by the smallish kitchen (one of the issues before mentioned) is our table that has featured many a meal, board game, life-changing discussions ,
morning coffee with newspaper...
The window next to said table is very large and fills the whole wall ... where I gaze at my garden, have watched my daughters and Sam swim in the pool, enjoyed sunrises over the tall oaks....I love it immensly and have chosen to embrace this spot in my home even though I would rather have a bigger kitchen.
the table has wood which has absorbed life; happiness, anger, daughters growing up, teardrops from my eyes as I pray for a friend...and then tears of laughter with friends and family from all parts of life.
In the quiet moments of this new year as life sprouts from behind the glass, I decided to use this backdrop...the table by the window, for a year long journal of photographs, just a couple a week posted to a set....hope you might enjoy
MONDAY IS HERE NO MATTER HOW YOU SPELL IT

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"

SILVER SATURDAY
vintage cookie cutters but no cookies,
just like the way they look through the lens...
