Almost dusk

Out and about again, watching autumn.

Longlegs

                                         So maybe growth really is still possible.....    

Another shadow

                                                   

Shadow face/hat

 

                                            A not-quite-fall melange.

More shadows

                                                    

On a walk

Bridge building components.  

I like how they mark the sides and edges.

I'm back!

....from bejewelrying.  Today's pool shadow.

I missed blogging and being in touch

with you all.

Elemental Shadow

Such a lot of textures make up the shadow

self!  I realize this morning that to keep 

blogging these days I need to make

 something very easy and quick,

and fun.

Some sort of bridge building apparatus

And Friend

On the table today

Combined doodles & stuff made in Deb's class.

(Satisfying my need to arrange!)

Raw cupcakes

So raw they can't contain themselves, and blow 

bubbles of excitement.

Shape search

Looking for shapes today for new earrings.

This porthole is from the kids playground in the park.

Chatham Sidewalk

This is part of an image that will be stuffed into a 

vinyl "brick" and hung with other bricks over part

of bank in Chatham that sports a pretty awful facade.

The artist that organized and got funding for this project,

Melissa Sarris, turned her dislike for what was into a project

that invited the town to comment, be creative, and alter the facade.

Daily walk, Lilly from the garden

I was surprised when I saw first saw

the saturated colors in this photo.

I spend many hours changing colors

when designing jewelry, making images more

and less intense, different hues, sizes and shapes.

  So it's a thrill to find something so intense all on it's own.

Today

Today I'm tired, cranky, and hot, without

an inclination to lead the way.  So I'll just

post yesterdays inclination.

Another arrangement

keeping myself amused......................

Odd amalgum

I was taking photos in Chatham.

This one turned out to be a little surreal.

Fava Bean Sweetheart. Adding and subtracting.

I just couldn't resist.

Add a little here and there

Stuff on my table. Small additions.

Dark lighting.

Subtracting

So next....I subtracted the original colors by adding lines.  I'm seeing more and more

how subtracting and adding coexist.  This is useful for me to notice in my life.  

When I leave something behind, or subtract it either willingly or reluctantly.

there is a new something that is added, whether I can embrace it or not.
