Everything has line & pattern. I could not find one photo in my archives that didn’t represent line or pattern in some way. From the obvious to the subtle, from nature to man made, our eyes make sense of the world through line and pattern. They provide structure and consistency. We often take it for…
How can carrots be purple on the outside and yellow on the inside? Not by photoshop, someone actually grew these and gave them to us. Smells like carrots, tastes like carrots, but looks like? Why are some orange inside and some yellow? I guess I’ll have to ask the gardener. Meanwhile, inside the basement…
I’m always looking for a different point of view, in my life or in photography. I find it helpful to look close, look up, or fold myself in various directions in order to see something differently. You never know what you might miss if you just stay in one place or position all the time.…
My First Love – The Sea I was born near the sea, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My parents were living with my grandparents across the street from the beach. My early childhood is so deeply rooted in the sand and surf that it feels like the ocean is my mother. People used to think I…

We choose our companions for comfort, compassion and shared happiness. http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/weekly-photo-challenge-companionable/ http://steviepreater.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/weekly-photo-challenge-companionable/ http://patriciaddrury.com/2013/06/28/weekly-photo-challenge-companion/

I walk out my front door onto the porch and my head naturally turns upward. I walk a little further and down the front steps while gazing above. I can never get enough of this beautiful sight, only available for a few days each year. Yet it fills my heart with so much joy that I forget…
I’m cheating – 2 Challenges in one. Surprise! On Dec. 24th at 1:00 AM, my daughter came home to NH from her trip to AZ. I made her stand outside the door and wait while I prepared the atmosphere in the living room. A crackling fireplace is something we’ve never had in our house before, but this…
Autumn becomes Winter on the NH coast. It was a rare sunny but cold day.
A timely post as I have been renewing my commitment to health and well being by going to yoga classes, meditating with a lovely smelling candle, and eating healthier. My Christmas cactus is also experiencing renewal, especially since it didn’t bloom at all last year. This is my daily morning renewal, my special blend,…
Purple is and always has been my favorite color, every shade of it. So you would think that this weeks challenge would have been easy for me. However, since I’ve been working 7 days a week for a month and worked 50 hours last week, my brain is in a bit of a fog. Looking…
