Huge moons there wax and wane
Again--again--again
Every moment of the night--
Forever changing places--
And they put out the starlight
With the breath from their pale faces.
Edgar Allen Poe
WALL-E! We took a stroll through the park, and I was struck by how much this little viewer resembled the little robot, Wall-E, from Pixar Animation Studios film.
A picture speaks a thousand words! This is a walk down memory lane. The two adorable cuties in this picture are my daughter and my oldest grandson. My daughter, Miakoda is ten days older than her nephew, Robert. They grew up like brother and sister, in fact everyone thought they were twins, they both had blonde hair and blue eyes.
We have had mushrooms growing on our lawn for the past few weeks, and I think the are quite beautiful. These photographs are of the underside of the mushroom.
I love quirky, whimsical, unusual things in my art and my photography. I love worn, vintage things with a feeling of having been around for a long while. I am a very visual, tactile oriented person. I think of myself as an autumn child. I am stimulated by the colors and temperatures of this beautiful season. I also love the faded, used colors of old fabrics and textiles. I have lots of different interests, reading, sewing, knitting and photography. I worked as a news and wedding photographer for many years. Now I photograph my children, grandchildren, pets and surroundings for my own pleasure.
The moon is a silver orb that enchants the night. They say you can fall in love if you stand too long in it's silver light. I fell under it's spell, for it is caught in my looking glass. It lures me, but when I reach to touch it's slivery glow, my fingers touch the cold surface of my looking glass. It's only a relfection, this my looking glass moon. Then I wonder if my life has become a looking glass moon, only a reflection. And so I need to put a bit of myself here so I know I am real.
