3 by 3 x 2

when you feel the gentle pull
to photograph . to write . to create
simple ordinary objects are seen differently

words signal emotions

used muslin bag softens to hearts

fresh idea

a drop of paint musters a new beginning

those of you reading this
write posts that stir the soul
wield a camera as an artists brush
create art in all mediums . simple and complex

the 3 x 3 collages below are
bits and pieces of ordinary seen differently
[with special messages on the back]

leave a comment at I STUDIO..
where my 3 x 3 collage appear each month

before I close the envelope


made for a friend but holding it one more moment for me

peace of the day is fleeting . yet clutched in my hand . threads tickling

reminding me that it is there . peace of mind . of heart . of age . of perception

wanted to share it with you just in case you may be running a little low on it as well

a bit of chipping paint

old ladder

I catch myself counting the days

waiting

as seasons are changing

I am growing ever weary of my black and white project yet with only 90 days left do not wish to end it
for the next few weeks the images chosen & posted there will be those that did not make it the first time

prepared to take flight
n the soft gray air
yet remaining
still
quietly sharing life

for them

early . at the window.

thoughts appear while standing by the creamy smooth sink

feet planted at days beginning or end as eyes take in a garden of memories

hoping that each moment might shine as a vibrant blue bottle

that you recall the comfort and love stitched for life

bright shadows whisper of growth around each leaf

along with the plump ripeness of each experience

I linger here in this everyday spot smiling through a tear drop

hoping that somewhere you are sitting pretty

sitting pretty

a visit north to emilys this day ... then down the road emma tree tomorrow for others sitting pretty ...

as we walk



angles and lines mix with softness and motion
seen through the eyes of days beginning and end

this is our crepe myrtle bush, my dog Sam was anxious to keep walking so this was my shot
later this week I'll be "Sitting Pretty " along with a special friend from down the road
with some shadows . blue glass . a block of wood and a ripe tomato

a truth


the nest of paper is comfort

between crisp folded connections

018

while lingering between empty and full

caught between empty and full

nothing profound . just random thoughts about how life can be at times



a soft gift

a hushed second

warp speed



a towering favorite

a tree . a sky


a wavering season

I invite you to a quiet spot known as "Sunday Shops"at i-Studio ..
a gentle beginning to a new week

through the drops

storm


gazing through the blinds past the raindrop streaked window
my street swelled to a rushing river down a concrete hill
grasping at any hope amid tear filled eyes
the gracious web fluttered in the wind
yet still holding on ... as will I

we received eight inches of rain in a matter of hours from Tropical storm Hermine
our family room took in some of the rain . we are wet but safe

a word

remain . continue . stay . endure . sustain . withstand . patience . steadfast
