birds of a feather
we are similar ....yet not
cut with the same scissors different paper
pausing to breath together in our simple space
but moving in a direction of our own choice for this time

this camera does not function in the conventional way
it was a mystery found on a dusty table in a drive by garage sale
I considered it a found treasure ...a blank page
using reflections in the lens and viewfinder
as a playful and unique way to see the world
may this day show you life from different angles and imagination
there is plenty of that at Julia's Hooked on Houses

in a chair
my mind
is filled with this
vibrant hummingbird bush
while sitting in a chair at the dentist
in a garden
it is my time to tend to the plants
the early morning shadows beckon to me
the ever present sun will be strong...warm...bright
I
will
try too
will
try too
time to bloom
no matter what season of life you are living
no thought of your shape or color
not who you have been or are becoming

hike over here
to see the new growth 6 weeks earlier this spring

quiet twice captured
soft light from the north forms a dreamy moment
i sit intently watching her through the lens
reading for the simple pleasure of it,
not college textbooks
that rule her life
so many days
i sit intently watching her through the lens
reading for the simple pleasure of it,
not college textbooks
that rule her life
so many days
later now behind the lens she sits relaxed
softly capturing reflections of candles from the fireplace
as they shimmer on the windows of the family room where she has grown up
today i wish you a joy filled moment during an everyday life
shared quietly with someone you love
it is so important
shared quietly with someone you love
it is so important
as i see it
feeling somewhat dry and cracked
the garden wall and tucked into the yard
are vivid reminders that rust is OK ...inevitable
the garden wall and tucked into the yard
are vivid reminders that rust is OK ...inevitable
the color is bold yet subtle, deepened by time
it perseveres against life's elements
colored with experiences
rich in texture
interesting
artistic
quirky
soft

embrace summer
with two redheads
back yard... shore... pool side

thank you
thomas edison
for the gift of electricity
wild Texas spring storms knocked down
trees and branches, flower pots and power lines
I will catch up with the blog world when life is once again stable

a young blog
once upon a time
in a land not far away
a redhead picked up a camera
not fancy, professional or monumental
just photos of everyday life shared with you
that was one year ago this week, over 300 posts
artists met, friends gathered, new discoveries relished

to celebrate your visits
I want to share with you the
"Artist Trading Card (ATC) Swap"
it is easy, often interesting and creative
first choose any medium... photos, poems, collage, painting etc.
then create six ATCs using only standard ATC size 2.5 x 3.5 inches
you may create them all the same, use a theme or each a "one of a kind" card
when complete
put all six in an envelope addressed to ELK
along with a self addressed stamped envelope
I will gather them together when they all arrive
divide them up between participants
then return to you six miniature
works of art to enjoy

two gifts of love
the little girl's soft hand gently passes the cream pitcher to me
her cocoa eyes shining from behind dark fringed hair
thanking me for the year of music
a gift of love
her confident smile and excited eyes sparkle
magic swirls around the room as proud friends and family
murmur words of love and celebration to our friend graduating from high school

random bits
of red in the garden and beyond make me smile
my hope is that you are smiling as well
find fleeting...random..... moments
