He Is Risen!

Happy Easter, my friends!

The fragile outlines of snow had fallen off the branches by noon.  A good reminder that when you see the shot, take the shot!  Almost never can you go back again.

Equinox Disequilibrium

New Year's Resolutions aside, usually the change of seasons isn't life-changing.  I know I, at least, spend a lot of time drifting through my days.  Whole great chunks of a lifetime can go by without notice or regret, until something reminds me that our time here on earth is finite.  Our homes can be finite too.  Sometimes we upgrade.  Sometimes we downsize.  Sometimes we grow up and leave home.  And, sadly, sometimes our home leaves us.

The family and their pets are safe.  In the midst of shock and dismay there is also grace.

Falling Under The Spell Again

Deere Winter, We've Been Together Too Long . . .

This is a double-exposure of parts of a John Deere tractor.  I was really at a loss for something to post today.  The weather's cold and gray and sitting at the computer makes my fingers cold for some reason.  It's going to snow overnight and, while we really need the moisture, all I want to do is sip hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire.  Short of setting my couch on fire, though, that's not going to happen.

So this disjointed photo is a good representation (abstraction?) of my wintery mood.

Some of my artwork.  I'm thoroughly enjoying my snarky side today.  :)

Brave Color

Character

I used to hate this kind of scene, just hate it.  The mess and randomness offended my neat gene.  But after visiting Italy, where power lines necessarily run on the outside of homes built centuries before electricity, and repairs to ancient stone and brick are sometimes viewed as an unnecessary luxury, I rather like it.

Texture can be endlessly fascinating.  And it's certainly more fun to paint than a picture of modern drywall!

Character; that's what these old buildings have.  And as I become an old character myself, I'm learning to appreciate them.
