i went to the beach, and it was full of drift wood, shells and other beautiful treasures after the rain and storm last week.
the beauty of a feather becomes so much more apparent when the perfection is broken. curls, waves, irregularities.
my mom is coming tomorrow. i am so happy. the kids too. they have been counting the days. or rather asking every morning, is she here now? will she come today? i play the part of the patient soul - no, just a few more days. she'll be here before you know it. i think i am comforting myself too :)
fading out from here with some beauties picked in the garden a few days ago. the light seems to have brought a love for yellow :)
Have a great time. There's nothing like a visit from Mom.
ReplyDeleteah, so much more loveliness from you Trinsch, this is fast becoming one of my favourite places. i love your feather drawing so much, it's really beautiful.

ReplyDeleteFeathers are perfection, beautiful photo (and drawing), a lovely post.
ReplyDeleteI think your drawing skills are going to try out my English vocabulary. This is one case where the drawing is so more beautiful than the real object. It's incredible how simple lines can become such a complex image. Enjoy your mom's visit. I hope she brings you some that jam:)
ReplyDeleteI love feathers and the one you created!! Very nice. Have a wonderful time with your mom. I think I can almost hear the excitment across the bay of water. xo
ReplyDeleteOh ! Lovely sketches...
ReplyDeleteDid you draw the feather? Beautiful work...

Your feather drawing is exquisite - so detailed! And I love the yellow photographs - they deserve to be framed.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and esp. that drawing of the feather. You're right - sometimes it is when things are not so perfect that they are their most beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed looking through your blog... you have such an interesting life. Maybe it is just so different from mine. I love your positive spirit, though (as with the garden boxes), as that is something we have in common :)
