1983. the quiet


just sitting
waiting for the sun to rise
two buddhas

 



Early morning is a favorite time of day. Just sitting, listening to the quiet.




1982. our gang


hangin’ out
away from the crowd of grownups 
the little rascals

 




Yesterday’s opening of an art exhibit at Aubrey Arboretum was well attended. It was crowded and loud. Food was plentiful. Wines and children’s punch drinks also plentiful. The exhibition of paintings by Pragya Gupta was impressive and inspiring. My favorite takeaway was this photo of a group of children hanging out together. Made me think of the old black and white TV series, Our Gang.




1981. Lenten Rose


daring to bloom
in time for the lenten season 
lenten roses

 



Looking at today’s weather, it was 37° feeling like 29°. Here are hellebore flowers blooming on this cold, windy morning during the Lenten season just before Easter. Though not in the rose family, hellebores are known as Lenten Roses and are among the few flowers vital enough to grow and bloom in the snows and ice of late winter and early spring. They appear to be dainty and delicate, and yet.
