"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Pixelated

Subtitle: Extra Special Curls

Happy Birthday Becky! You caught up with me again!

Sometimes I only need to stand wherever I am to be blessed. Mary Oliver

I was surprised to find this perfect dandelion seed head on my walk this morning...and I held it up against a tree that had just a touch of fall color. When I uploaded the photo....I was smitten with my camera's pixelated interpretation of the tree. The seed head is awesome....but it's the pixelated fall background that stole my heart.

Sometimes we need to just stand where we are....and be awestruck! 
The only thing better than a good stem....is a good stem with extra special curls! 


It has joined the others on the fence...and is my infusion of fall today.

    Your dandelion and tree are perfect foils for each other, providing all sorts of enhancing contrasts to show each other off … and to bless and awe!

    hahaha! Your striped pumpkin got into the curling iron!!!

    I am in love with your pumpkins and their long/curly/curious stems. The pumpkins here all seem to have short, stubby, very ordinary stems (sigh). And that dandelion photo - deep sigh of happiness. Love the MO quote that you paired with it.

      Thank you so much Julie! There are a lot of short stubby stems out there...and I have to search for the good ones. It's all about the stem! So glad you liked my dandelion photo....I'm still awestruck! I can't help but celebrate this fabulous season!
