ps. rhode island red and shadow craziness

Current location: Newport, RI (visiting sweet baby esther...and her parents)
-this place is straight out of a movie. I may never leave.

...a sneak peak:

(brother's house)-


(crazy cool shadows on neighbor's house)-

baby girl pink

Somehow I managed to get the two most adorable nieces in the entire universe. Not sure how that happened to me...

-but, it did.

this is baby esther:








talk about melt your heart!

brick red

there's something about old red brick...
it has a history.
it has a story. well, lots of stories.
it's strong. but, wearing down.
there's character.

these were taken as I was running out the door from a friend's apartment building in nashville...














apartment envy? talk about an understatement!

speckled paint

So, I've been painting.....

with these-




and, this-



and, I've been showing up to work with speckles of paint on me. it's wonderful.

process.
beauty.
discovery.
color.
speckles.

after being out of the game for a while, it's nice to be back.

i love this field- green

I drive by this field every morning on my way to work, and every morning (unless it's an overcast day), the sun is pouring through the branches of this tree. It makes beautiful light and shadows cast onto this open space- and, it's a great way to start my days. So, yesterday- I stopped my car in the road to take a couple of photos of the scene...
smart? probably not.
worth it? absolutely.

The photos are not the finest- still working with the point and shoot. (And, I was a little rushed- what with being in the middle of the road and all....) But, you can let your imagination take you there....

cheery red.

joy
cheer
peace
delight
it's been a good day.

autumn gold

It's been one of those days...I've got the blues, for sure.

So, if I were to put up a post about my day- I would take photos full of blues and grays and dreariness.

The problem is- I keep looking out my window, and all I see are yellows and greens with golden specks scattered throughout the landscape.
And, then, I keep thinking about the crispness in the air this morning as I walked out of my house and saw that it was only 65 degrees!

So, in the midst of the blues, I cannot ignore the promise and hope of autumn.
It's coming!

These are the colors of my day....



here's to you, autumn-
golden yellows and greens.
crispness in the air.
hope.
