it didn’t occur to me until i had put this collage together that, despite all the vibrant color, this is really a still life. everything in the photo is dead. but around here, it’s starting to look like spring, and all of the dead-looking branches in the woods are swelling with buds about to burst into greens and reds. so i can’t help but see this photo as full of life.

there are women who crave a perfectly set diamond, a lexus suv, a pair of louboutins, the 16th arrondissement, and a louis vuitton drawstring bag. i’ll take sea urchin spines from a beach on the sea of cortez, thank you. no, i mean it. thank you @springfinnandco.

I prefer the natural beauties, too :)
But I’m still looking for one of those
spines. :D
Have a beautiful Sunday!

so, i was listening to a podcast today…wait, did your eyes just glaze over? anyway, the interviewee, mitch joel, was talking about how we all should embrace the squiggle. in other words, don’t imagine that your college major is going to be your straight-line life path. as a former aero-astro-engineer-turned-artist, who married a french-greek-english-major-turned-tax-preparer, i’m all about the squiggle.
you can see the whole oak limb here on my instagram feed.

Love this curvy old branch, and I loved seeing it above your bed :)
And I couldn’t believe to see that chicken all over your place :D
Your photos are all so beautiful! :))
Have a wonderful day

Yes, yes, squiggle~ We are in the midst right now of a relocation-climate adjustment- new job- new baby squiggle! Thank you for hitting a home run on that one! Much love~

i think today will be the warmest yet this year and i will try to enjoy it with a long walk after work
I love this still life, I also don’t see
that everything is already dead.
Maybe it’s our head, that knows how these
beautiful parts look when they are in
full life :)
Have a beautiful day
