Seeding The Studio

Although I am always a little sad to see the summer end

I love the fall, the blazing retreat of grasses and flowers

and trees, the wild abundance of seed they leave behind. 

 This week I gathered  seed heads from my garden

and brought them into the studio for a seasonal homage

to the earth's generosity.

I took lots of photos.

Of course, I had to play with them a little

on the computer using my favorite reflection effect,

the rotating mirror function.

As always, I love the genius of the balance

and order of every degree of perspective.

 The instant compositions are thrilling for me

to see. The simplicity of arrangement reveals

a stark beauty and surprising and serendipitous images.

Like Miss Harvest  here.

See here cone crown, the star seed of her eyes,

her collor of primrose pods and oregano seeds?

This is my favorite of the series,

a fancy light post

or a royal banner of autumn.
