Working long distance can be a challenge.  Unknown contractors, unforeseen questions, unanswerable from afar, nervous clients guided in directions by others.   All that said this shower has turned out!  So happy

Urban Plants

Urban plants:

The tenacity of nature softens the hard edges of the cityscapes we live with in.   Refuting the lack of soil, the grinding machines drowning the silent birth budding in its presence. It pushes through the concrete, around the metal and even escapes the hand of the gardener to grow into its own       unique expression of life.

Here I offer my noticing of the joy nature brings to the mundane and everyday concrete experience.  Whether it is seen or unnoticed it thrives and celebrates the sun, the rain, the very breath of air we exhale.

All of these photos have been taken within the bounds of a city or town in Oregon, capturing my eye and asking to be noticed.  It is my pleasure and honor to see them and share them with you.
