Three Against One
Conversation. Argument. Cluster. Combination. Some days I feel like one of the mussels . . . and other mornings I relate more to the ancient shell fragment. This winter it depends on how much snow is accumulated outside the window!

A rose for the warmest day of the week . . . Before the next storm tomorrow. Ugh. Again, a reminder that I never arrange anything in the photos. They are all photographed as I find them. This long stemmed … Continue reading
