the beautiful way:
weather and time returning
the cedar to earth

A seed in the earth grows into a cedar tree which men harvest and fabricate into lumber. I fashion the boards into my porch; which serves me for 25 years; only to be reclaimed by the atmosphere; due, in part, to my own design flaws. Though the process will reclaim all no matter how perfect the design.

Friday: flower — still life?
The flowering plants have fallen over, wilted, dried, gone to seed. Very little green remains “outside” — only the pines and some grasses. The days have become short and the light, more often than not, overcast, dull and gray. If I continue to produce a flower photograph each Friday it will require more planning; no longer simply a stroll within so-called nature. From now until spring I’ll need to travel to a shop and make both economic and aesthetic choices.
This morning it was 32 degrees F outside so I decided to shift into this new way of thinking about Friday flowers by bringing one of the last blooms from a porch plant inside for visual exploration. As soon as I dropped the bloom into water the photograph appeared.
