Smitten

How do I love thee?


Let me count the ways ...


I love thee to the depth ...


and breadth ...


and height ...


my soul can reach ...


I love thee to the level of every day's most quiet need ...


with my childhood's faith ...

Santa Fe - Fire on the mountain

Sunrise ...






A sense of place

There is adobe everywhere ... as ubiquitous as limestone in Austin.


Also like Austin, the hills are green, which I didn't expect ...


And who knew there would be fall foliage?


But then again, that was in the foothills. The mountains are beyond words to tell ...


So it's no wonder Georgia O'Keeffe spent a lifetime trying to speak of them in pictures ...


After seeing her mountains at Ghost Ranch on Friday, we went to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum on Saturday. It's small, but I saw what I wanted to see ... how her early canvases were covered with the finest brush strokes ... how her technique changed over time ... 


And I couldn't help imagining how our own visions might change, a reflection of her sense of place ...

Compared to the real thing ...
