Messing about with a camera is a favorite pastime of mine.

My favorite place is solitude
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is “Favorite Place.” While the photo was taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, undoubtedly one of my favorite places, it depicts more. Space for introspection, stillness, connection to Mother Earth. Solitude. That’s my favorite place.
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.

If I don’t know the stories, I make them up
One of the things that attracts me to vintage and antique things is they have stories, and even if I don’t know the stories, I make them up.
–Mary Kay Andrews

Limited by our perspective
Each person does see the world in a different way. There is not a single, unifying, objective truth. We’re all limited by our perspective.
— Siri Hustvedt

Life is Sweet
“That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet.”
— Emily Dickinson
Stop waiting to live life until after you’ve lost the weight, found a spouse, bought a home, been hired for the perfect job, purchased the nicest car. Life is fragile. Life is short. Life is sweet. Eat the damn danish and savor every. last. bite.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Intricate
“To be well married you have to have a penchant for the intricacies of intimacy and larval change..If the personality is a spider’s web, you will want to know every thread…Pleasures no longer come to you, but there are pickings to be had if you can learn to scavenge for them”
— Hanif Kureishi, The Body

The ring bearer’s pillow pictured above exhibits the Norwegian art of Hardanger. Even weave fabric, cut between series of satin stitches, creates intricate open designs. I made it in 1982 at the age of 21.
I haven’t done this Weekly Photo Challenge in a while and I’ve missed it.
