the blue pony
or : reason #436 - why i like to walk in the alley
i have been doing LOTS of walking around and making LOTS of pictures in the last month or so. it is free, fun and good exercise. this is my favorite season. sometimes i feel like i have to do “projects” or post imagery that is relevant to whatever rambling i am doing here, so most of these images go unseen. i am thinking i might just start popping them out here in public. just randomly. for my own amusement. maybe yours, too.
other goings-on: a GREAT weekend in kansas city with my poet. we saw Bright Star. i wanted to come home and throw away all of my 20th century and later belongings and sit and stitch linen cloth by the window for the rest of my life. so beautiful. two walks in new woods, cribbage, my first hotplate cookery and so on. now i am back in reality, but still thinking about stitching. and also about making new books. i have put them aside for some time, but now … hmmmm … missing making them.
autumn is really here. i have worn my fur boots already.

absolutely beautiful photographs.
All of them tell a story, even the unaltered ones…..
happy Autumn,

oh, i want to see this movie! i can see myself sitting in the theatre, silently weeping into a hand-stitched linen handkerchief.
i’m already about to weep over this blue pony with it’s tail broken off—tell me he wasn’t set out for the trash collectors. i can’t stand the thought of him buried and broken in the landfill.

thank you, Alma! i am so happy to see you here!
happy Autumn to you, too!
Debra, i think you would like the film! i was not quite sure whether the creature was set out for the trash or not - normally when things are by the cans, in the alley, they *are* - but this was still close to the house. i am hoping he was a little guard - sometimes people here decorate in the most curious ways - and i am sure if he *was* to be taken away, he was taken away and loved, so don’t cry. these days i am trying not to “collect” big things, so have been passing up some grand items seen in the alley. i have to just be happy with a picture. and i am!
