Early November doings and undoings


Left knee surgery, neurological complication in my left arm & shoulder [it is getting better], acceptance of Much Depends on This Quilt series with the New England Quilt Museum, listening to & reading the Massey Lectures, by Adam Gopnik on Winter, 5 Windows on a Season, seeing three Ken Burns films (one on the Statue of Liberty, one on the development of the radio, & one on Congress, the building & the institution), trees outside our apartment & all over the city turning lush colors and then....

Yesterday a big rain & windstorm....there must be trees down in the city this morning. We were out driving through a cottonwood leaf blizzard. It was a spectacular show. Even in New England I had never seen the likes.  Thousands of airborne leaves.




      When we got home I rushed outside to get a last shot of the tulip tree    outside our windows. I love the lantern-effects of sun on trees.


Signing off with classic self-portrait shadow. How many times I have felt drawn to do this shot!
That's it for today.
