roots and branches

i love to study the upturned roots of all these washed up trees! mandalas everywhere, polished by the sea and bleached by the sun. how i wish i could take one home with me to hang on the wall and study forever!

sky drawings

all the leaves are gone now, just bare branches against the grey sky. they almost look like energetic drawings. I may make some like this soon...

brooklyn botanic garden

my sister sara lives right near the brooklyn botanic garden, so we usually go over there to see what's growing. after hurricane sandy there was a lot of trees damaged there, but they used the debris to build a kids fort! it's all nailed and woven together. it has great log stairs leading up to an enclosed deck up top with log seating all around. it almost looks like a giant birds nest when you first see it.
