I have a very little yard in the desert and when I retired almost 4 years ago (wow the time has flown) I decided I’d garden that little bit of land. Well I’m still gardening but not very well. I’ve learned how beautiful plants are when they go to seed and I’m filled with adoration for the little things in life that before I just took for granted. I can “smell the roses” everyday now (not really, I’m allergic and rid my yard of those due to extremes issues with that particular flower) but the awe I have experienced in just the simplest things right in my yard has been so wonderful.
Today I photographed the onions and just love them. I have captured them in 4 different stages, which makes my photos somewhat educational. I hope to recreate them in someway in my jewelry. I will toss these images around in my head until hopefully an idea is sparked. The ideas don’t always work out the way I image but the pleasure I derive from this process is so utterly fantastic.
I am truly a VERY lucky person and I am savoring every moment.
Life is good!
