An Artist’s Passing
At the time of a person’s passing, people often comment on how they were personally affected. I remember more about David Bowie’s voice and his legendary style as an artist than specific songs.

Spring in Winter
Last week, we shot some new photos. That is, Brad Stanton shot some new photos for publicity. This is one. It was fun not being behind the camera because I got to choose pretty things and set up the various shots. The tallow berries were beautiful – ironically white like the snow we haven’t had here in Connecticut. Of all of them, this photo made me think of Spring, and shooting around outside. Related Images:

The Nest
Days are getting shorter and the sky grows grayer by the day in New England. This photo reminds me of the overriding grey color outside today, anticipating first snow. Related Images:

Winging Home
It’s time to head back to Connecticut. OMG. It’s stopped raining. As we descended into Seattle Sunday, you could see the rain on the windows. Today is the first day you can begin to see light through a cloudy sky. Related Images:

And I ain’t counting. Does anybody else rearrange the furniture in order to bring a tree inside this time of year? Related Images:
