Driving and stitching

We have been in the car most of the day traveling up to Death Valley from Palm Desert. Desert and more desert on the way but the colors and shapes and textures are wonderful. Along the way I have been stitching with black and gray thread on linen. It is meditative to stich and look out the window.
Tomorrow we are going to explore the park. I want to get up early to catch the light on the mountains and valleys.

Rain, rain go away

We had lots of rain while travelling last week-this photo was taken through the windshield while being pelted. I love the abstractness of it and that it is black and white.

Melting snow

After our wonderful spring weather last week, this weekend was cold and snowy. But today it is melting! The snow is actually about an inch above the pavement in this picture and the water is running away underneath. I like the strong black line that is created by the shadow.

Black and white

I love black and white imagery and this photo of another water reflection shows how powerful it can be. This is as is - no changing or enhancing - you would never think this was a shot of water.

Ice patterns again!

The deep freeze continues. I don't have to do more then stick my head out the door to see an interesting image. This photo is of  the ice and snow covered door mat at the front door.  Today I plan to get lots of work done on my new series - Plants of Concern. Hopefully, I will have an image to share in tomorrow's post.
