Summer...summer

Summer always seems like it is going by too fast; no time for super serious picture taking, but time for some fun along the way.

This is part of a series that I did last summer in response to the Gulf Oil spill. It will be shown in July at Chroma Projects in Charlottesville.

Storm Windows

People are putting up storm windows now,
Or were, this morning, until the heavy rain
Drove them indoors. So, coming home at noon,
I saw storm windows lying on the ground,
Frame-full of rain; through the water and glass
I saw the crushed grass, how it seemed to stream
Away in lines like seaweed on the tide
Or blades of wheat leaning under the wind.
The ripple and splash of rain on the blurred glass
Seemed that it briefly said, as I walked by,
Something that I should have liked to say to you,
Something . . .the dry grass bent under the pane
Brimful of bouncing water . . . something of
A swaying clarity which blindly echoes
This lonely afternoon of memories
And missed desires, while the wintry rain
Unspeakable the distance in the mind!)
Runs on the standing windows and away.

how long does it take for a year to go by?

I had no idea that I had not written or posted any photos since a year ago today. It seemed like a good place to start again.
Many different images have been generated in the last year, and in no particular order, I made a random selection.
I decided to post again after a conversation I had today with a student. I had to think about what I was doing, in order to help her with a question she had about what she wants to do for a project. It made me want to write again, stop being so tired.
The photographs are from Cape Cod, our garden, sunflower that landed beside the springhouse, hike in the fall, series of trees, HDR experiment, river landscape series...all shot since last March 29.
