For everyone who voted in my stories about the color of Dahlias I got at #traderjoes “pink” was right, although I could have taken them all! I was finally able to shoot them last night, the light was beautiful but the mosquitoes were rampant. Anyway here’s one that made it to the final cut. See a pullback in my stories.

Sometimes there’s nothing to say. No words of wisdom or profound stories. Just stillness.

While I’m short on words today, I can offer you flowers 🌸

I just had a wonderful mentoring session with a client in Norway, I love it when I get to meet people from all around the world and learning something new from every person. I’m so curious to see what types of flowers she finds and how would the light be like in her part of the world. Teaching is so rewarding!

Passport saga: we don’t have a passport yet, I’m getting nervous but I’m still hoping 😬

Have a beautiful day my friends 🌸🌿🌿

One of my “back catalog” photographs available for purchase through tomorrow only!

You can find it in the multiple choice listing on the first page of my print shop, and I’ll link in stories.

This one is called “Hope in Pandora’s Jar. The original artist statement is below.

—————-

If you are unfamiliar with the myth of Pandora’s Box - it’s quite long, but the important part is as follows:

As a wedding present, Zeus gave Pandora a box (the title we know has long been wrong and it’s actually meant to be a jar, which I used instead of a box)

Zeus sternly warned her never to open it under any circumstances. Pandora, who was born to be curious, was transfixed by the box and the urge to open it overcame her.

As she opened the box, horrible things flew out - including greed, envy, hatred, pain, disease, hunger, poverty, war, and death. She had unwittingly freed every kind of misery into the world.

Pandora tried to close the box but it was too late, they all had gone. The last thing climbing over the edge of the box was hope, who chose to remain among humankind to temper the wickedness Pandora had released and help humans to survive these many misfortunes.

Throughout history there are many iterations of the story, many disputes over meaning and wording. Multiple representations of this myth have been painted and sculpted and drawn, but they almost always have a depiction of the evils being released.

I chose to focus on Hope, and make a representation of hope climbing out of the box, blooming. Mostly because think we all could use some hope right now for many reasons ❤️

When I look bored in a meeting, this is probably what I'm daydreaming about. And 5:00🍻🤣⁠

I was struck by the sudden abundance of fallen rose petals so oliahercules rose petal jam from her wonderful book Mamushka called out to be made

If you haven't come across her do check Olia out. She is an incredible food writer and campaigner, a Ukranian living in the UK and working tirelessly to keep up support for the War

It's rainy and dreary here, and maybe this is weird, but I honestly love it. The earth will soak up the rain, and soon there will be green emerging everywhere. And shortly after that . . . . blooooms.⁠
⁠
So, I'll sip my coffee, plot and plan, sow my seeds, and patiently wait. It won't be long now :) ⁠
