Ah, summer we barely knew ye
We didn’t get much of it. But what we got was lovely. The water glittered in the sun the other morning when I walked the dogs. The sky was so blue, the clouds so puffy and high, the pines so fragrant, that my heart lifted. The waves on the Bay rolled in, over and over, […]
Making art: Stones on the shore and a woodsy welcome
September 29, 2009
What is it about human beings, anyway, that we are compelled to arrange things in patterns that please us, to see images in found objects? What is the power of metaphor and simile made concrete?

However, a vexillologist, I have learned, is a flag expert, and that’s what I need. I have turned from puzzling over George Martin to puzzling over the design and provenance of […]

In search of زهرة عباد الشمس and fall color in Japan
September 26, 2009
One of my favorite things about the internet is that it links me to faraway places. I love getting email from 鈴木 千佳子. I love seeing mysterious search terms that people use to find their way to Torch Lake Views. Today someone was looking for a زهرة عباد الشمس. When I used the Google translator, and […]
