eight

along side the tissue paper birds and a few collected tea bag quotes

never overlook an impromptu moment . a garden of books

and feeling that you are somebody's favorite

eighth week in a year of fridays

a corner

cat on a sunlit chair . aged dog lying below on a soft quilt to cushion his aches
hoping for a treat . they watch me create with paper on a worn table

tea kettle steams . holly bush waves to the sky outside the studio window
we relish moments of crunching and sipping . waving back

the good china ...

there are times when your plate is filled to overflowing . I understand

we keep a number of plates spinning in the air . I feel the motion

be still . experience the smoothness . dream of a garden . just for a moment




this is my mother in laws china . it is old and very loved

seven

wherever we may be . morning will come .

through the beckoning light

gently caught between two seasons

on the porch with a very special friend

-|-

musing about life . past and present . in black and white .

wide eyed at the marvel of bare branches in the middle of nowhere

comforted by the invitation . as the soft air of spring visits . a familiar space

swept up in a long ago memory . loving hands that held the smooth wood



images here from the archives of a completed black and white project

I heart

late afternoon moment in the sun . the subtle wind chimes in the yard next door
one smooth piece of balsa wood found in the closet . shadow strong yet simple
willow wishes sent from the heart . with love . everyday

six

may you find a happy sigh in this day

bright and blue fresh air

slow & quiet contrast

as the tide rolls

the day after

across 300 miles we share a love of words . music . strong ties . blooms . growth

as december ended . she traveled back with a tin can bulb perched on rocks

now upon her sill in the west Texas sun bulbs grow ..they reach .. stretch .. as does she

these photos were taken by my daughter . blooms and oaks welcome the morning sun






today . the day after her birthday . life's adventure continues

may the hopes and dreams of the new year reach for light . amid sweet aroma

this is my wish for her . for you . even myself . sharing growth with emily today

five

to find spring in creamy stitch

to stand strong amid the shadow

and gaze skyward to smile at a moment

simple birds . simple words every friday this year

...

I will be away for a awhile . be well . you are a blessing to me

four miles away

the super bowl is being played where I live . I am not a football fan but cheer for

clear sky . bright sun . shining glass . abstract steel . lace like branches . blue shadows
