On being a witness to art...in whatever form

January 16

The photograph of the day sang to me these lines from a hymn, "snow had fallen snow on snow, snow on snow." I must have been appreciating how each flake balances on the next yet with no regard for symmetry or form. I might title this image, "re-use," to recognize how these spent flower pods have become vessels for a new kind of blossom.

It was a boondoggle day, 
here are a few other photographs in the snow:
This tree looks so regal dressed in white.
This lilac bush looks so much more wild
with snow-capped branches
I love to hear the cold squeak
of snow under tires

Why does chocolate in
another language
taste better?
 
I love simplicity and shape

January 14

Almost Spring
The day dawned rainy and spring like  
bright sun and temperatures in the 60s 
at noontime
and the sights and sounds 
 of jacket-less children
could have fooled anyone 
not sure of the date.
The sun appeared to be flying out of the clouds
Spring run-off appeared by every remaining snow pile
It was like "sun-glints on branch water."

At the airport
Which looks more like a restaurant or hotel.
The negative of this photo puts more focus 
on the body language of the people waiting.
At once a unique and universal experience.

365 Days

This blog is taking a slightly different focus for this year.  

The pull to read has been replaced by the pull to witness. I started this blog to explore the threads I was seeing in what I was reading and in which I was listening.  

At this moment in my life I feel called to see -- to see the light coming through the trees, to see the shadow on the leave, to see the clouds in the sky.  For the next 365 days I am going to upload at least one picture a day.  I'm looking forward to the journey and to see the story these photographs tell.
