November abstracts

November is turning abstract on me. For example, the Peace Lilly in the bedroom decided to first go all wayang



then it turned into ET phone home



the smoke tree -normally a stable favorite- became kinda Rothko meets Pollock when mist dropped drops on it



and the mist, THE MIST, it makes everything ghostly, say Hopper meets Stephen King



and when the mist is gone, the dusk is kinda rushed, like an O'Keefe in 2 minutes



So schizo lilly's, mixed mists, rushed dusks -it's a challenge to keep up with november.

figs

They're everywhere



because we got figloads of 'm

the 8 that is a 10

October is a bit of a mad month, innit? It can combine the gentlest and warmest of light with the fattest and coldest of rains




or that very same lovely light with goddamn hail



and even the saddest little tree can shine in this light and its reflection



while the gloriously big ones can blush beautifully at the thought of their impending nudity



The whole experience of october, not just that light fantastic or the crazy precipitation, but the air and the smell and the moodiness of it all, i think warrants at least a temple



where melancholy angels ponder whether hail is actually damned -and light sent- by god



or that it is just the stuff all these freaky spiders that crowd this month pull out of their arses

fly, me, to the moon

The moon was so bright last night that i could shoot it with a thousandst(ststst) of a second's worth of exposure and the aperture cranked up and only then would it not be overexposed and show it's rough patches.



This fly was so dim and dulled by the cold that i could move way close and lean against the window to get the shot this morning.

Fall fell full fill II

Walked past this lovely little tree today, which seemed to celebrate its firts autumn



In what has so far been a rather brown and grey fall, this one looked like it was blushing at the thought of the impending nudity, and just exploded with red

Fall fell full fill I

Been trying to deny the end of summer, so i can embrace the beginning of fall properly
