I am not exactly a creature of habit but I do like the contentment that comes from frequent and regular visits to specific places, like my once-a-week walk at Oaks Bottom. This week it offered a rhapsody in green. The water did not just reflect the canopy of green above it, with trees and bushes having long grown all their leaves. It had developed its own thick coat of paint, a saturated green layer of duck grit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The migratory winter water fowl were gone, the geese and herons stayed put. It is lovely to see change, experience surprise a n d feel the warmth of familiarity, all in one fell swoop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, in my next life I would like to combine my Wanderlust and artistic preoccupations along the lines of the life and work of the duo Karoline Hjorth<\/a> and Riitta Ikonen<\/a>. I had introduced them earlier here<\/a>, with their project Eyes as Big as Plates<\/em>, portraits of older people in their natural environment. Alas, the book has sold out on Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A different project, stretched out over four years, can be explored here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
