Weekend Reflections

When it's cold, wet, and dark—you can
pretty much have the bridge to yourself.

The prompt this week:
Where I put my head down.
To rest, to sleep, to dream.
My go-to spot to renew my spirit.


I inherited this turn-of-the-century (the 20th century, 
that is) tiger oak sleigh bed from my wonderful 
grandmother Miss Lucy; it's shorter than a standard bed, 
but that's okay since I'm shorter than a standard person.

Sunday Bridges

We got our first snow of the year yesterday,
and I took a walk in the botanic garden—
and crossed this pretty little stone
bridge over a frozen stream.

Weekend Reflections

Saw this at MOMA last week: You step into a black
space with a shiny floor and a movie projected onto one wall.
The film shows the side of a house falling over a series of men—
but they're untouched because they're standing exactly where 
the (open) window is. I was just drawn to the reflection, of course.

The prompt this week: Color With Emotion
—the colors we surround ourselves with, the colors we
use in our house, in our art, the colors of our everyday.

Just looking at this photo makes me feel peaceful.
I kept these lily-of-the-valley (my fave)
long after their time because I actually love
their pale hue, especially combined here with the
subtle patina of old silver.  And that lightest shade
of aqua in the background?  I've painted two
ceilings in my place that very color.

Weekend Reflections

I think NYC is beautiful at night, even
without the extra holiday lights—but I
still miss them the rest of the year.

52 Photos Project

The prompt this week: Pick a subject and move in.
I love this assignment—and even though I don't
have a macro lens,  I can still get this close.
And I promised the fishmonger I'd mention 
that his fish are very fresh (as you can see).

Sunday Bridges

The other day I was reminiscing about encountering
loooong freight trains down in Virginia when I was
a kid.  Came across this one when I was there last week—
fortunately, we didn't have to wait as it rolled slowly by.

Monochrome Weekend Reflections

This was taken in the days BD (before digital)—
and before WR too!  We were on the motoscafo from
the airport to Venice (my fave way to arrive).

The prompt this week: a new beginning—
capture one moment in time from this day.
I've been out in the (mostly Internetless) country for the
past 4 days and didn't see the prompt until I got home
just after midnight tonight. I was in airports and
on planes most of the day, but on the way to the
airport I stopped at a very cool shop and my eye
went directly to this chest. I just think it's beautiful, and
I'd love to be able to create something like this myself.
