It’s Friday and the sun is out this morning. Yay! Yesterday Mother Nature was busy creating designs on the pond during the snowstorm. Because of temperature differentials in the pond water in some spots the snow stuck and in others it melted. And huge radiating cracks in the ice seemed to form as well.
I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful an endless prospect of magic and wonder.
— Ansel Adams
I was fascinated by
Nature’s Designs
This morning the radiating cracks remain on the pond surface and with sunny skies the day takes on a warmer feel even though it’s a little bit colder than yesterday.
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
With the snowy day yesterday I worked much of the day with photographs I had made earlier this year, layering them in various ways using only photographs that I made myself for textures. It is endlessly fascinating to play this way and the hours seemed to disappear. Yesterday I limited my work to using only photographs made since July 2020. I can’t imagine how lost I might become in the work if I decide to work with all of the photographs I’ve made over the years.
This image represents some of my feelings about late fall.
And in this image I created a self portrait where I am barely visible, using photographs of wave patterns, a photo of light through waxed paper, and spider webs.
The possibilities are endless. I am excited about exploring the intersection of my photographs, paintings, and thoughts and emotions in new ways.
And I continue to find beauty looking through the windows of my house as nature’s designs come and go.
We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
— William Hazlett
Wishing you a lovely Friday and a beautiful weekend.
May you walk in beauty.
