The view outside our treetop house in costa rica gives us a panorama of grays and greens. If you look closely you can see the cell phone towers in the distance. An odd conjunction of wild flora and wireless reach.

mind the gap
I saw this shadow on my walk yesterday and couldn't resist a quick shot. There is a nice tension between the arrow-like left side and the intertwined right. most fascinating to me though is the gap between. It is neither horizontal nor vertical and has subtle diagonals and squiggles. Notice how the straight line that connects the links on the right turns into a wiggle on the left. The image speaks to the tension and stress I have been feeling in the past few days and also has a hint of release in it.
I will wiggle on.
leftovers
Sometimes it's the leftovers that spur me to the next step. I saw this little scrap the other day and decided to take a quilt that I had cut up into pieces and experiment with the scraps. It was freeing not to have to get everything perfect and the texture is glorious. When my sister-in-law came over she actually dug into the scrap heap and asked me if she could take some for herself.
Don't you love the shadows here?

this is how I feel today

pool trees, @2012, Paula Kovarik
I love how the cover for our backyard kiddie pool folds over the edge. These shadows look like elven forests to me.
