'Arch'

I met someone at the wedding I shot who sparked some ideas, and set me on a journey to work on my craft.  Reading Erin's blog posts on her 'wordplay' assignments awhile back stuck with me, and I proposed to a friend that she send me a word every few weeks.  She immediately sent back 'arch.'  I immediately thought of this, which used to be a scary overpass above I-25 in Denver, but is now a lovely footbridge that connects two hip, urban neighborhoods. 



It has been a fun experiment, I have noticed all sorts of things that I pass on a weekly or daily basis that might be 'arch.'  In fact, I think this image might be too easy, but I drive under it every week thinking how great it is and how I should shoot it sometime, and I never have.  Here are some more of my arches: 







Which image do you like the best??

    The first one is awesome! It really caught my eye.

    The fourth one is subtle--I had to look twice to see it.

    But my favorite is the window photo. I think it's the orderliness of it.

    Wow -- gorgeous arches Karen. There's absolutely no way I could pick a favorite -- I love them each for different reasons. The rainbow arch is very cool though...not sure I would have spotted that one!

    I love them all Karen, but the old door has that special something for me. Great work!

garden panos from 2023

 Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening.  So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October.  As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc.  I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March!  What are you planting?

Night

Trixie (as in Speed Racer) and Stitch (as in per inch) Night My kitten walks on velvet feet And makes no sound at all; And in the doorway nightly sits To watch the darkness fall. I think he loves the lady, Night, And feels akin to her Whose footsteps are as still as his, Whose touch as soft as fur. Lois Weakley McKay ... a childhood favorite from The How and Why Library. Thank goodness my parents moved last year and sent this book my way. Otherwise, I would have just the first line running through my head forever!

Spring Means Baseball!

I've had this idea for a knitting pattern in my head and it's finally come to fruition!  I am still polishing up the pattern, but here's a quick peak:  PS:  There's more than one size and this one is too big for me but it was the only one I had "stitched up."
