Amazing Nature

Working at Keuka Lake Vineyard (KLV). Today there was the most incredible rainbow coming out of a cloud and just touching the KLV which is also on the other side of the lake. It was most spectacular in real life.  Wish you all could have been there.

Sequence Shots

This post was originally titled “Autumn”.  I am still here and still  I’m in awe at the transformation.  Daily I notice how incredible change is.  It is subtle and powerful.  It is snowing.  October 2, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 9, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 18, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 19, 2012   […]

Reflecting on Reflection

Often the reflection on the lake is more believable than the physical sky and surroundings.   The actual clouds and hills seems so dense and far, while the reflection pulls my attention right to it.  Possibility and depth rippling on the surface. What lurks?   

Kitchens

Stretching my sewing tape end to end on one side of the kitchen, and adding a foot to the other, makes my kitchen 5′ x 6′.  It works fine.  Two burners, tiny fridge, tiny sink. The sun streams in.   The white reflects the brightness of the day.   I was going to leave it […]

Inspiration Competition

Glass of the Past

Beach glass […]

The Bells

6:45 a.m. every morning sounds a horn.  The same again at 7, 7:45, 8:00, noon, 1:00, 5:00, and then FINALLY at 6:00. The sound comes from this tower smack dab in the center of Corning, NY.  They have named the tower “Little Joe”, tall, white, with a glass blower’s silhouette painted on the 4 sides. […]

The Fall

In April I was asked what my hesitations were about doing a job I was being interviewed for-?  Emphatic and over reacting to the question, I responded with “LACK OF MY OWN MY CREATIVITY!” ….. and then……with about just as much gusto as my response to NOT wanting it….. I accepted the job when it […]

The Glass Dresses

Grabbing The Love
