Started with a sienna sun print, with a bit of blue cyanotype, too. (Terrible at keeping track of processes, would make a terrible scientist.)
Blue's photos from Chile are wonderful to see.
These were taken on a day hike to Laguna Caren. He has become part of a group of young people from all over the world, who are also tutoring. They get together a few times a week- Sunday picnics, pancake party, Christmas dinner in June, bus trips to the beach and mountains... They find ways to have fun on next to nothing budgets, scrimping by together on adventure after adventure. All of this a far cry from the last couple of years that he spent mostly alone in Michigan during the pandemic. He sends photos of the gatherings and group shots with the words, "Friends!" underneath. So happy to see and hear how good he's doing.
This one is about home and memories.
Boats are back in the daily paintings.
A couple of evenings ago on a friend's sailboat, just sitting at the dock watching the sunset. There was an otter and herons, too.
Last night, with the same friend at Urgent Care (Or judging from the speed of service...semi-urgent care. We left at 9 and were home in bed at 2). Fortunately, antibiotics were the solution, nothing more serious. We passed the hours chatting, looking up corny jokes, I repeated past behavior by stitching an "x" onto her sheet again, and taking selfies because, "These are the times of our lives!"
Almost.
She keeps reaching, almost as long as my arm.
Things swirl along.
