Duct Tape Takes Wing

I checked out a book from the library called Ductagami: The Art of the Tape by Joe Wilson. Cute book with instructions to make wallets, baseball caps, shower curtains, etc. It has fun retro graphics and clear instructions, but no traditional forms! Here's my addition. It has about a 9 inch length and 9 inch wingspan.

I think that this crane would make an artsy contribution to my girl-cave-garage-workshop. Okay, it's not really a shop, it's more like a push cart.

Feather in Cat Tail Dander and Algae

Mucking about in another local puddle. Many birds were congregating such as red-winged blackbirds, ducks, and thousands of starlings. The sun was setting and the wind was blowing the downy seeds of the autumn cattails into the water.

Bleeding Hearts in High Contrast

Not taking as many pictures. Weather? Illness? Preoccupation? Brooding?

Ghosts of Fall, Raindrops and Cracked Concrete

Our maple tree dropped its leaves once they'd lost their ruby luster.

A selection found the driveway at the end of their fall.

The stone was cold, the air was wet and snow fell.

The icy weight cast autumn shadows, the color of dried blood, on the cracked concrete.

The leaves were gone and raindrops were falling by the time I saw the evidence.
