caddy
This sewing caddy captured my heart during an exploration of my friend’s grandmother’s house. The caddy had been there for a while – notice those wooden spools of thread – and my thoughts went to the sewing habits of a woman I’d never met. It was more poignant than I had anticipated.
We looked around the entire house and then, just before we left, both of us needed just one more look at the sewing things.

This wasn’t my mom’s sewing room. But it could have been. Visiting this room gave me the chance to think about my mom, which is always a lovely thing for me to take time to do.
(And also, that pattern piece is for a nightgown. I looked it up. Also you cants spell too much from those Boggle pieces, which somehow escaped from the rest of the game.)

stacked circles
The other weekend my friend Whitney and I went to see her parents who live on a farm near a tiny unincorporated community near Lubbock. After our visit with her folks, we walked around the farm and the best part of that was getting to see the variety of equipment that was stored in rows beside the house.
And that’s how I found this…thing.

When I was traveling with a photography group last fall, a friend of mine let me borrow a lens – it was a very nice lens and I could tell why he was making it real clear that he’d loaned it to me. It was a 56mm, f1.2, and: wow!
And then, of course you know what happened: I had to get one for my very own. And I used it all day on my visit to the botanical garden; as it turns out, shooting short depth of field added some interest to these images that other lenses wouldn’t have gotten.

the grasses lie fallow
It’s sort of easy to think all the plants in desert areas are spiky and out to injure you. I mean – there ARE a lot of them that are sort of stabby (Hello? Agave? Looking at you, bud.) so I get it.
But then, there are some grasses that are soft and feathery, even when they are dormant.
