The Pacific Northwest winter with its gray, gloomy days that seem to drag on are relieved by the memories of last summer’s blaze of color. I love color and the ways that it contrasts and compliments its environment. Everywhere I looked natures palate brought so many shapes and angles into contrast with unique combinations . Such a contrast to gray winter monotones. I did spot snowflake blossoms on a stroll a couple of days ago – harbingers of colors to come.
Progress, incremental but still progress. Finished the photo shoots from last August and now working my way through September. Seven more that will be finished within the next couple of weeks, hopefully. I’m looking forward to the Dahlias – two day shoot with lots of color, experiments and the bonus of the blossoms in front of the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
Surgery next Tuesday – hoping that it will make my walkabout’s easier and longer in duration and frequency. Only time will tell. I feel fortunate to have access to quality medical care through the VA health care system. Say what you want about the government – this is a classic example of how it benefits our society.
