It’s a quiet blue morning here, a sure sign of the shift in seasons.  This is my favorite sort of morning to photograph tiny, bite-sized portions of life.
Good morning! 

I came across this wonderful quote recently:

“Art is the product of the creative process.  
It is quantitative.  There can be a 
little or a lot of art in any work.  
A piece is free to be conceptual, narrative, realistic, 
abstract, beautiful , ugly, functional, or nonfunctional.”
[Michael Boyd]

What do you think of that?

Today I am canning more of the bounty of my garden, popping into my studio to wrangle a few objects, answering as many emails as I can, eating peaches and sipping coffee.
I can’t believe it’s Friday again. 
I have this ominous feeling lately that I’m letting the time of my life slide through my fingers too fast.  I turn thirty this year.  My heart laments that number, even though it’s just a number — it feels half way to somewhere.  I feel swept away by time.  Does that ever change?

I like the
color of the squash blossoms
in the rain.
I hear the hens cackling.
Love feels so good, feels so much better than anger,
feels so much better than hurt,
feels so much better than anything else.
