Well it’s nearly 4am but I finished braiding Brandy’s hair. I almost gave up but as Brandy says, Almost Doesn’t Count ;)
Lovely sunset over North Lindstrom Lake, MN. The best of this session was the lone Loon Duck sitting just outside the right of frame who serenaded the setting of the sun.
The way the evening light braids the hills with shadow never ceases to inspire me. I come over all poetic but can never find the words to paint such a subtle picture. And that ridiculously beautiful graduation of colour - the desaturation that drought casts over the grasses and trees seems to make for a perfect canvas for the sun to paint unrealistic colours as if to compensate for the lack of rain.
Inspired by the women cutting off their hair in support of the women of Iran in memory of Mahsa Amini.
(don't worry, it's not real hair..)

Once I did Violet's they all started giving me dirty looks because they wanted their hair braided too!
i was so inspired by this photo that i attempted to re-create it using this photo as a starting point. it's not as graceful and refined as the aforementioned photos...but there are plenty more wednesdays to come...
When I normally think of braided streams/rivers, I think of places out west where huge torrents of glacial meltwater carved (or are still carving) their way across the landscape. This little waterway is just a couple of feet across but is doing a similar job.
On Sunday morning, the beach was completely clear of any marks other than from the waves that had swept over it. The sand had been completely saturated when it was warmer and had frozen solid overnight. So solid, that my boots left no imprint in the sand as I walked along. It was like walking along on a sidewalk, instead of the typical walking-in-the-sand trudging.
Have a good weekend.

1. To begin, start with clean dry hair and style it into two high ponytails, Leave an optional fringe for finishing later.
2. Divide the first ponytail in two. Make one thicker than the other, by about a 1/3.
3. Braid the larger piece... Three strand, left over center/right over center. Or whatever you feel more comfortable. Secure with a hair tie
4. ROPE braid the thiner piece and secure with a hair tie. The rope braid will give you a thiner, longer braid, than a regular braid. This will be essential when wrapping. For more information please refer to the rope braid tutorial www.flickr.com/photos/aveuch/4594343473/in/photostream/
5. REPEAT
6. Wrap the rope braid AROUND the three-strand braid
7. Secure with a hair pin
8. REPEAT

This hairstyle travels EXCEPTIONALLY well. It can last and last and last. And looks amazing, One final perk is that one you decide to let it down, you'll have a fabulous soft set wave! Make sure to post photos!!!

I'll braid your hair.
I hope this bout of photographer's block goes away sometime soon, or I'll go insane. I need to stop photographing inside my house. Next week, I'm going out.
[+2 outtakes which, as usual, I like better than the original photo]

What a joy to fly over Iceland on a clear day and see the sun reflect on the braids of rivers below. The country is all about water - glaciers, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, icebergs, rain, hail, sleet...
another treasure from the polish convention book - ilan garibi's braided bowl.
I loved this model from the very first moment I ever saw it. I felt that its impression of massiveness might be heightened by using paper that makes it look like granite.
