tangled horizon
flat light. you have to visually dig deep to see the reds and purples and brilliant greens. they're there.
and so is brittle ice, frozen in the wind.
how did this end up in the road? see the pebble weighing it down? why? it's not been good weather for snakes for a long time.
unknowable.
today the starkness overwhelmed me. then i remembered last night's almost full moon. i came home from wendy's walk to a growling chainsaw and a little load of wood. good work, better than mowing lawns any day.
i have been trying to make a blurb book. will report when i have success. see how determined i am? blurb appears to be easy. we'll see!
grey is beautifully rich with all the other colours of the spectrum. your photos today are beautiful and a wealth of colour.
ReplyDeleteblurb sounds like grey, many colours and sounds. k.
Lovely lovely soft colours Velma - such a gentle time and light. Best wishes for your blurb book - if Barry and I managed it - it's possible!
ReplyDeleteoh please someone, enlighten me, what is a blurb book? I'm sure if Velma is making it, it will be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteblurb is an online publishing service--easy to make your images and text into a book with Blurb! (ha!)
ReplyDeletevelma...nance, nandas, who won your shifu,
ReplyDeleteher man made a blurb book of their visit to
my Place on this earth. it is extraordinarily
beautiful. this is a wonderful idea
i tried blurb. i think i am a dummy.
ReplyDeleteyour words today are amazing.
good luck with blurb. i've been trying too and it always comes up with "error 2" check your server
ReplyDeleteor something
sigh
good luck
V-such crystal clear cold images - you must walk with your camera and see the world for a second time thru yours lense - I always talk about walking with a camera but only remember it when there is something exciting to capture amnd share. Go well and stay indoors if it gets below -35. B
ReplyDeleteintensely poetic grays and beiges.
ReplyDeletethanks jude.
ReplyDeletegrace-so it does work! india and jude-listen to that!
barry and neki-being able to carry the camera and shoot images my eyes find and have been finding for years is so gratifying. this little canon fits in my jacket pockets. it is a marvel. it's easy when the land is so beautiful.
So beautiful. I like this time of year for it's subtleness.
ReplyDeletevelma..it SO does work. i will ask nance
ReplyDeleteto email you about it.
and it would be so beautiful with your
sensitivity

ReplyDeletein pursuing this, i'd like to send you a
copy of the one nance's man made. it would
give you a sense of what can happen..it

velma, go to blurb.com check out diedrich dasenbrock. my man, as grace says. look at state of grace. he has many books and is NOT a techie in the slightest. really.
ReplyDeleteand oh my goodness velma... this is a beautiful post. just what i need this am...
and this weekend something very special arrived in the mail... a slice of holiness. your shifu is beyond exquisite. thanks you a thousand times!
wow, grace and nance this is so helpful. i will spend some time with blurb after tomorrow. and grace, i would be honored!
ReplyDeleteI made a book with blurb this summer, a history of my family, complete with pictures (some old, some new), and poems from all who wanted to participate. Was very pleased with the quality of the printing, and the length of time from submission to delivered book.
ReplyDeleteDelightful! Loved seeing these images.
ReplyDeletethanks for the feedback
