see url I’m waiting. Waiting to gather enough information to make informed decisions about important people in my life. Waiting for the rain to stop pouring –it will and the sun will soon shine, but I had hoped to distract myself with some camera work. I can wait.

https://www.52editions.com/absences/ While I am waiting, I am watching more rain water pour into the Mississippi River. I am grateful that I am north of the flooding, but my thoughts are with the many thousands of people who have been or soon will be affected by the out of control Mississippi.

enter site I lived in a Mississippi River town until I was eighteen. I still have relatives living in river towns up and down the Mississippi — in Illinois, Missouri, and Louisiana. I’ve seen the Mighty Mississippi when it was roiling and raging and overflowing its banks, spreading water as far as the eye could see. It’s not a pretty sight when the river floods.

Flower Patch and Birch

Squill in a Patch, Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin

Buy Prednisone Online Without Prescription Lately I’ve spent a lot of my photo time looking up at the flowering trees. The magnolias have been magnificent, the crab apple blossoms are just beginning to open. I’ve also spent some of my time looking towards the earth, too. And I found this rather charming patch of squills under a birch tree. I tried several variations — the close-ups showed the simplicity of the flower, but didn’t capture its delicacy. I sprawled on the ground for a few angles, but it wasn’t until I photographed the patch of dainty flowers with the birch tree as background, that I felt I captured the feel of these diminutive plants, a patch of color in contrast to the earth. It’s rather a friendly flower!

Magnolia

Magnolia in Layers

Sometimes goals almost within reach, as near as an outstretched hand. Sometimes goals are lofty, and seemingly as unreachable as the stars twinkling throughout the Universe.

Sometimes goals are in vivid colors — bright and eye-catching, appealing. Sometimes goals are in gray-scale — black, white, and every tone in between. They don’t call out for attention, but all the details are there if you look closely.

Goals may be easily attainable or require a lifetime of planning, but I’m learning this. When I take a big goal and break it into small, doable steps, it is achievable — as long as I am willing to show up and do the work.

I’m evaluating her 2011 goals for the first half of the year and considering new goals for the last half of 2011.

 

View from the Stone Bench

Tree Shadows

Tree Shadows © 2011 Bo Mackison

The trees above this bench are mostly bare. (I won’t mention the late arriving spring–if you read my blog at all, you already know about my relationship with late arriving springs.)

Okay. Deep breath. Shake out those recalcitrant brain cells. Appreciate the many photographs I took last week when the sun was shining, and the sky was a deeper than usual blue. And resume…

I walked through the tree park in the arboretum. I was especially drawn to the many shadows that contrasted with the grassy patches bright with the mid morning sunlight. Tree shadows–especially tree branch shadows–provide great patterns of light and dark.

White Branches, Blue Sky, University of Wisconsin - Madison Arboretum

White Branches, Blue Sky © 2011 Bo Mackison

The tree branches above this solid, full-of-character bench appeared mostly bare, but then I stopped to rest on the bench with my back against the cold stone and gazed upward. I was surprised to see thousands of waving catkins near the top of the white birch tree. And a never-ending view of the bluest blue sky I have seen in recent weeks.

White tree branches, yellow catkins, deep blue sky–I love this color combination.

I watched for a while, actually a long while. The catkins were like wind chimes, whistling and rustling against each other, a birch tree with a thousand catkin wind chimes in its far reaches. A lovely sensory experience–a warming sun on my face, whistling catkins, birds singing, the faint smell of the damp earth.

I’ll put this in my memory container labeled “spring”.

I am working on a new adventure in Wisconsin–one where she embarks on a daily outdoor exploration, no matter what the weather or season.
