so, that’s the end

which are you favorites?

 

I think my favorites are 12, 14, 19, 23, 24, and 25.  How about you?  Which were your favorites?

 

This was such a fun project for me.  I love setting up and rearranging my collections of seeds and nests and sticks and rocks.  I’ve had them piling up for ages– stones from my first trip to the beach (when I was 18– geesh), seedpods from my college days, playground gravel from visits to friends in Tennessee, sticks from an anniversary trip to Garden Valley Idaho one summer, driftwood from San Francisco the next summer, even shells saved from Barry’s boyhood trips to Ireland.  These are the colors and beauty that make me dizzy with awe and gratitude for nature, fresh breezes, loving memories.  It was fun to try to share the visions in my head with you all.  Thanks for watching and commenting.

 

evening ritual

 

The nightly ritual.  Arranging and listening to this.  It felt so good to do something creative everyday that was simple and intuitive.  I would love to draw or paint everyday, but for me it takes a lot of quiet time and concentration and I’m coming to accept the fact that this is just not the season of my life endowed with quiet time or concentration.

 

Now back to regular programming.  I did do other things in February, so stay tuned for some catch up!

  1. Favorites huh… I loved the entire project. I think my two favorites are 16 and 25. I just love the fluff and the smooth dark brown of the nuts and then there is something about all those stacks of rocks. Love the fun marching shells of 8, loved the floating egg when it appeared in 12, fluff of 14, 15 & 16, 19 makes me smile, love the little egg and then 25 & 26. AWESOME!! :-)
    Love MOM

  2. This project turned out great. I love seeing them all together.
    My absolute favorites are 4 and 25.
    3, 21, 26, and 29 are close behind.
    Great Job!

  3. Best of all, I love the look of you creating… great picture Barry :-). Wish I could edit, missed putting #21 in there on my comment about loving the little egg.

  5. I have enjoyed looking at this more than any other photo blog. It’s simple, beautiful, quiet…my fav is #27

  6. I really liked #3. It made me feel like I was standing on a dock looking out over a lake. Like at carriage hill! They were all beautiful! What a fun idea! So did you guys make your photo box? Thanks for sharing!

  7. I’m just catching up on this entire project and I’m in awe. It is gorgeous! Every single shot is perfect. And I’m even more inspired knowing that you shot it in a lightbox – I’ve been playing around with my own and you’ve inspired me to keep trying for softer light. They’re all just so stunning, really. Beautiful work!
