little blue illusions

I'm not sure if its the onset of winter, or my annual restlessness, or that my eye changes as I get older, but I've had a thing with cooler colors lately.  I've been playing around with a few older photos and am pretty pleased with the results, so I thought I'd share.  Here's to the stillness. . .

i made a mix

A few days ago I made a mix of all the songs I've been head over heels with since the end of summer.  Mostly because I just want to hang onto fall a little longer.  Its called, into the strenuous briefness (click the cassette tape to play).  Enjoy!




 into the strenuous briefness is an e.e. cummings poem I adore:



into the strenuous briefness
Life:
handorgans and April
darkness, friends

i charge laughing.
Into the hair-thin tints
of yellow dawn,
into the women-coloured twilight

i smilingly glide. I
into the big vermilion departure
swim, sayingly;

(Do you think?) the
i do, world
is probably made
of roses & hello:

(of solongs and, ashes)



 


 


as fall fades to winter

Finally, as promised, more fall photos.  It was a brief but amazing season this year.  I had a bit more fun with these, and there are a few stories to go along :-)


{I was parked off the side of the road talking on the phone when a *little* gust of wind swooped by
and brushed half the leaves off these trees.  It sounded like rain as they scattered}

{An abandoned VW bus = eye candy}




{I turned down an alley and saw this sweet pink balloon turn a corner and float into a parking garage}
*It was magical*
