Country Still-Life

The simplicity, roughness, and modesty of this casual display of household artifacts in a historic country cottage demonstrates the wabi-sabi aesthetic.

A Day at the Lake

Though this day at the lake was cool and cloudy, it was still a day away, away from routine and ordinary thought. A day to be another, or perhaps, an occasion to be one’s true self.

Summer Ease

Summer Ease: a long weekend with nothing to do but gaze at the blooms, listen to the birds twitter, enjoy fresh strawberries, and breathe.

Wave Watching

We stand before the waves, not thinking, not imagining, not contemplating, just watching, watching, watching.

Fallen Flowers

Cast down, peonies still know their truth, their origin – the beauteous angel realm.

The rain, a pause

The rain, a pause, an interlude, before these blooms resume their summer show.

Lost and Found

“It’s in this world that wandering hearts come lost, to be found.” – Pia Jane Bijkerk, “My Heart Wanders.”
