softly changing...

i saw a post on facebook where, 

if you put milk in a saucer, add a few drops of food coloring and then a few drops of dish soap, 

beautifully abstract changes would take place as the soap displaced the colors.  

i think it was meant as a child's experiment 

but it looked fascinating so i tried it.

 

 

 

the changes were sometimes dramatic and other times, subtle

 

the saucer became a tiny world 

of fantasy and movement and dancing colors

 

a little saucer of art and magic :)

sweet autumn stuff

it has been a pretty fall.

crazy busy for about a month and then a total slowdown....

glad to have the time to stop and look around :)

bittersweet and beach grass together.  i love cape cod in the fall :)

and misty mornings on the cranberry bogs...

 and leaves. lots of leaves.

fall is currently my favorite season :)

cape cod light

soft air...

light and color...

peace at the end of the day...

the lightness of being...

 i am leaving winter behind.

right now.

i need light and color and softness and warmth...

it's not spring yet

but it helps to think ahead...

the colors of winter...

i am not a fan of being cold but i absolutely love the beauty of winter...

the world changes from one day to the next.

and instead of just the winter whites (which i LOVE), 

there are 50 shades of gray...

soft muted greens...

pastel sunrises...

browns and blues and 

feathers and seed pods...

there isn't enough time in a day to see it all.

and tomorrow,

it's going to be different :)

 it truly is a winter wonderland out there

   

  

fall and nature . . .

when I think of fall, it is all about nature.

fashion people think sweaters and boots,

cooks think about soups and pot roast...

I always think flowers, leaves, birds, trees...
