Weekend Topographs::7
Posted on | April 26, 2009 | 8 Comments
Too many favorites from the weekend to just post one pair of topograph photos. Since I’ve been doing these I’ve become so much more aware of my environment. Of textures, light, sound, color. How one experience influences another, how one image brings something to the next. Delight is effortless when I take notice.
White wine & stake frites, just him & holding hands, window shopping & pretty dresses, ice creams, 85 degrees, sunset on the lake.
Spring finally, catching tadpoles, rubber boots, woodpeckers, small boy wipe-outs on the bike, Neosporin, compost, more seed starts, the first sunburn of the season.
An impromptu Sunday road trip, the best BLT ever, old train stations, collard greens & trout, cupcakes, piano jazz, picking daffodils, and remembering that sometimes making memories and being present is enough. More than enough.

What was your weekend like?

My weekend was filled with learning new things, and rain…but good soaking spring rain. Everything looks greener already. If it is sunny tomorrow we will be well on our way. Your weekend sounds heavenly.

So glad you had a good weekend! My own was filled with my flu recovering, and our dog’s getting into the compost, which resulted in a trip to the emergency vet clinic an hour away. BUT, all is well, so we also had: strawberry plants, asparagus pasta, dinner at a swanky restaurant with friends, grading, and facing a creative nonfiction essay (and still, not winning).

“Delight is effortless when I take notice.” Ain’t it the truth. One of my favorite quotes is from Dorothea Lange: ‘The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.’ I notice that when I have my camera with me, even if I never take a picture, I see more. I *look*.

My weekend: digging, sod removal, measuring for the new garden, helping friends, the trouble of machinery, transplanting perennials, eating an ice cream drumstick, loving the cool of the breeze and the warmth of the sun on my skin.

“Delight is effortless when I take notice.” What an inspired line. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and pictures. The Topographs are simply wonderful.
