click here The entrance way of Annunciation Greek Orthodox has four brass embossed doors surrounded by stained glass windows. The windows depict the story of the Annunciation. If you look carefully, you can see a small red square to the lower left of the doors. This is the famous red tile with the engraved initials of Wright, signifying this is an authentic Wright design.

There are also entrances to the lower level of the church, once used for offices and classrooms. The church has built a second building for most of their offices, but the downstairs space continues to be utilized for small group functions.

Curving Lines

https://thelonelycreative.com/contact-us/ The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s last architectural designs, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Designed by Wright in 1959 shortly before his death, the building was completed in 1961. The church is located in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee just west of the city, though often the site is incorrectly given as Milwaukee.

Klonopin For Sale Online We visited the church in June of this year, during the Wright and Like 2011 Tour, and were able to tour and photograph both the exterior and the interior of the building. All Greek Orthodox churches have domes, and this church is no exception. I think this dome is especially lovely, matched against the bright blue summer sun.

watch In 1958, when the leaders of the church went to Spring Green to discuss the plans of the church with Wright, they were sent away several times without any definitive answers. Finally, in desperation, the men said they had to have information about the church or they would have to consider hiring a different architect. So the story goes, Mr. Wright looked at the assembly of church leaders before him, took his coffee cup and saucer, drank the last of the coffee, and then turned the cup upside down and placed it on the saucer.

Changing Seasons

Turning Leaves

Changing Leaves © 2011 Bo Mackison

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. ~ Lao Tzu

The more I look with intention, the more I see.

I watch as these leaves gradually change from green to orange and lose their lustrous coating. Each day I see more, even as the leaves wither and physically become less.They are no less beautiful.

When they grew in green clumps on the summer trees, I did not notice individual leaves. Now I can easily see them as individuals, notice the one with more orange than its neighbor, see another wobbling with the breeze as it loses its grip on the branch, and another has developed a fringe of dark brown.

Wabi-sabi leaves.

How many will still be on this branch when autumn officially begins?

 

The Red Stem

It is a good idea to be alone in the garden at dawn or dusk so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.   ~ James Douglas

When I study this photograph, it gives me a feeling of being supported.

I see the red stem divide to support the two-lobed, dew soaked leaf. I see the leaf, waving in a steady breeze. I see the stem sway back and forth, absorbing nature’s forces. The leaf has such a magnificent support system in place.

A single leaf has adequate support.

Surely I also have a support system in place, perhaps invisible or unnoticed, but strong and flexible nonetheless.

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. ~ Henry David Thoreau

“An insect view of its plain.”

I love that description of my kind of macro-photography, written by none other than Thoreau. It seems I do explore the world of insects, though I am not in search of the creepy crawlers, only in search of the way the sun lights the back of a leaf, the way the ripple of the leaf adds dimension, the many shades of the yellows and oranges.

A magical world exists close to the earth.
