I awoke this past Saturday to a bright beautiful world. After the days and days of greyness, it was truly celebratory! Hoar frost covered the entire boreal forest. Because of the contrasting whites, Manitoba's naturally blue sky looked even bluer (that was not Photoshopped). I was so excited that I didn't even finish my coffee. I dressed, grabbed my camera bag and hopped in the little red truck to see what I could see. This is one of a handful of images that I took before the frost melted.

OK, this is a pattern for Ideal's Chrissy, etc dolls. But someone has suggested it would be good for a Sasha doll. Has anyone ever made this pattern and altered it for Sasha? Just curious.
Simplicity 1612; ca. 1946; TEEN AGE BATHING SUIT AND BEACH COAT: The bra top is gathered at the sides and the center front is softly crushed with a tie. Shoulder straps cross and button in the back. There are gathers at the side of trunks in front and soft pleats at lower sides and back. An elastic is inserted at center front to achieve a shirred effect and ribbon is drawn through eyelets in the bands at sides of trunks. The beach coat, styled with soft gathers released from a forward shoulder seam, features a standing collar, side openings, bishop sleeves and patch pockets.

During the last afternoon yesterday a weather system approached from the north turning the sky a dark purple. The setting sun in turn transformed the tall pines and the leafless trees into points of golden, flaming light.
I posted this image on my blog last night to illustrate an essay on the tight places in which I find myself -- my neighborhood being the most literal of them. It's impossible to get an unobstructed view of anything, except, of course, the cars, rolling trash bins, open garage doors, roof and lines. But, enough about that.
But, any overall photograph to capture the startling and vivid array of torches along the street would have also included a multitude of distraction. In the end, and having to work quickly, I abandoned even the idea of a single treetop, a single canopy, opting instead partial views of the trees aflame and leaning toward the source of the light.

I have a very busy brain. Things ping-pong around in my head constantly...except when I'm out making images. It's then that I'm able to quiet the noise of the day and truly focus on that moment without distraction.
Fortunately, I live in a place where there is so much scenic beauty that my photographer's eye can't help but be inspired to capture it. I'm beginning to learn how important it is to make daily time for this mentally quieting experience.
It is the last lesson of modern science, that the highest simplicity of structure is produced, not by few elements, but by the highest complexity.

I've found a new love for reading I thought I'd never had. Books rarely captivate but I'm finding myself going through the book case next to my desk getting lost in my own world.
I need to put my creative thinking cap on. I'm not feeling very satisfied at the moment with my images. I feel like I'm in a daze, I need to get back to feeling myself.
