From my son's wedding this weekend down in Austin, Texas (that's him in the background with his new bride finishing up a photo shoot).

The last one!

彼岸花 ヒガンバナ

Passion Flowers indoors for the winter.

Five more rows to finish this sweet quilt. Large enough for a California king....The background fabric is all text and numbers. #inmystudio Inspired by Gwen Marston at a workshop two years ago.

The space between my guitar strings and the fret board.

SN~ Guitar Strings

“You, sir, are as twisted as a twelve-string banjo. - Willie Nelson to Sheriff Preston Bank”

The strings and light cooperated to make a mini bokeh symphony.

These are the blooms from a Box Elder tree (Acer negundo). The male flowers have long pink, dangling stamens. This is also one of my favourite tree flowers to photograph!

Best regards, Kate

On a foggy and wet morning, with everything covered with drops of moisture.

Light was low and murky but the arching form of this grass still caught my eye as I walked the dog this evening. Time is short so this shot received the most basic of edits in Mac OS Preview & my small watermark was then added in Lightroom.

Just another detail that makes up the vintage Webster piano - a technical marvel of a musical instrument. Some of this dust is probably older than I am!

New strings on my Spanish guitar

just because

A MUST VIEWED LARGE!!

Taken on the same morning as the previous posting as the fog lifted the dew remained and those strands are horses hair dangling from barred wire, with the sun behind and using rear-sync flash I got this image half of the droplets are out of focus but I like it that way it add more dimensions !

I wrapped a string around my thumb

To remind me of that singer at the station

By pretending that we liked his guitar the way he sung

Just to put off taking trains to different places

Remember lying naked on the porch

Making fun of Californians in the winter

I'm still waiting to wake, to tie your hair up on its form

So I tie another string around my little finger

Now I'm losing the feeling

All my fingers turning numb, pins and needles in my thumb

'Cause I'm losing the feeling

Now my hands are turning blue

But this knots are tying me

To the feeling of you

I told you when we woke up in my bed

This is just a passing thing, no strings attached

We were riding 'till we parted with our strings in a knot

The harder that we pulled, the tighter that it got
