 It's snowing :(

 I was reminiscing about our trip our trip to Steamboat Springs during the last snow melt.

 Fish Creek Falls was ROARING - it was awesome.

What's New - March 28

Dear Henry,

Spring has been springing in the forest and there are little wildflowers everywhere.

I am in love with the rue anemones and I am grateful that (so far) my landscaping plans will not disturb their natural growth.

I found this triune next to a fallen oak and loved how their portrait turned out.  You can purchase prints here.



Speaking of artistic endeavors,  it was the perfect weather for cyanotypes.

We had the temperatures climbing above 70 and a couple of stunningly sunny days, and I took full advantage of the weather to expose several sheets.

This one is of catchweed. I love the shapes it makes in cyanotypes. Catchweed grows in abundance in the yard and gardens and in places that it really shouldn't and I am always pulling it up.

That it looks great in cyanotype works out well, because I have plenty of it.

Prints are available for purchase here.

Have you ever seen fuschia?

I discovered this cool little plant the other day (or rather Charles Plumier discovered it and I…

Dear Henry,

Did you say "rabbit rabbit" this morning?

After writing about the legend surrounding the good luck charm "rabbit rabbit" in the post "What the Hare With All the Rabbits" I don't think it matters much, as it has changed quite a bit from its original form and purpose.

There are two book reviews this week.  The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura which explains the philosophy behind tea and the rituals surrounding them and The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni which is a fictional account of a boy growing up with ocular albinism.

I began working on a biography for John Jacobs for the www.everydaypatriot.com blog but became overwhelmed by the sheer number of men named John Jacobs that had their lives uprooted during WWII.  I wrote about it in the post "In Memory of John Jacobs".

Unfortunately, I still have the backlog of prints to be created and because the weather is promising to be beautiful for the next couple of days, th…

What's New with Autumn Staircase 2019

Dear Henry,

The winter "rainy" season has begun.   This is great, because, it also means the waterfall season will start shortly and in another couple of weeks or so, the waterfalls in the area will be flowing (picture opportunities!).

Of course, winter here also means that everything here has turned shades of brown and grey and there are no flowers. But I suppose asking for both flowing waterfalls and flowers is akin to asking for the cake and eating it too, right?

One of the "city" things that Fish and I did recently was to see The North Forest Lights exhibit at Crystal Bridges and I can't recommend the show enough.  The show was designed by Moment Factory and I am now on on the lookout for more of their work.  I cried during the piece "Memory of Water", it was an incredibly moving piece.

 I did manage to get in one cyanotype between the rains, a collection of maple leaves.  Art prints are available and I have used it as the image for my exploration…
