When I see the date of my last blog entry - November 8 '18 - I realise it has been a very long time since I checked in here on the forum. Somehow it is easy to get lost when there are so many essential things that need time and attention. While 'luxury' parts of life just get shelved. Do we all put parts of our lives away in time capsules until easier days when we can return to them? Not that I should presume that I now have surplus energy to be 'back' and participate. I have a moment, so let's spend it in the garden, in autumn.
What a splendid time of year, in those magical latitudes (or altitudes!) that allow the light to become thin and clear, and the colours to become saturated and the air to ring like a bell. What a planet. How wondrous is life? We're so fortunate.
I so, so wish that I could capture what I see with my eyes and feel with my senses of touch and hearing. The vibrations of light and sound that encompass form and define our world like an ocean shapes the shore. But alack, practice, more practice, has had to suffice. Fortunately I enjoy taking pictures, even if the results have a long way to go. And I do notice changes in my perceptions and approach that amount, in my eyes, to growth. So I hope you find something to enjoy in this collection of pictures.
