I am currently working on backings. Let’s just say, I did the first one without trouble and screwed up the second one by not watching what I was cutting. ooops. Nothing major. Just a little more piecing than I’d hoped for.<\/p>\n
My major accomplishment today was probably grocery shopping. I bought good things to eat. Even bought some gladiolas on the way home at a local farm stand. Sent Ron a page to say “steak for dinner if you’re interested.” And he showed up, cracked open some beers and ate with me for a change. Maybe I should send him page messages more often!<\/p>\n
Which brings me to the “shots of the day.” They’re not really about local views, but more like the view in my kitchen today. But I am quite pleased with them so I posted them at photographica<\/a>. Sometimes the view is all about seeing what you’re looking at.<\/p>\n I have always thought this – that much of the world is beautiful and worth looking at. But you have to look.<\/p>\n I think it’s interesting what Jerome wrote as a comment for these photos “She sees a photo while washing fruit… I love that. ” What happened was I was washing the nectarines and the sight of them in the white china bowl, in the sunlight was almost beyond belief. I could hardly break away to get the camera, but I knew I had to try and capture that beautiful set of colors and textures and light. And if others look at them and think – wow, how beautiful nectarines can be, or – look at the skin of those or – how the drops sparkle, I think it was worth capturing. <\/p>\n Jerome’s comment has given me a lot to think about. Especially since the idea of SEEING is what my grant is really all about. Seeing what’s in our own backyard. Or kitchen as it were.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am currently working on backings.
