detour: oswegatchie river
i've been passing this by
everyday on the detour home
friday the horse team was absent, work done
it was hard to get a good photo
(huge lines were in my way)
but the changeable weather
made for light shows
at home
the leaves opened up
for the lights
~~~
i looked at two little abaca sheets
i had placed in a bundle
and i learned something new
besides the ecoprints,
the fern inclusions
from long ago
took up the dye color
and become dark presences.
nifty!
the colour reminds me of ancient fossil growth...gathered by nature for keeping...and you.
ReplyDeletegood thought, henrietta, the ferns were pale before, now they play a secret part.
ReplyDeleteit's so much fun when you get an unexpected discovery - great paper
ReplyDeletethanks, jean, it hints of possibility
ReplyDeletevery nifty ...great find!
ReplyDeletelove the imprint of the fern leaves!
ReplyDeletem.c. they are fern leaves, not imprints, but ferns in the pulp, that took up the dye when ecoprinted.
