Day 356

December 22, 2022

Waiting for the storm

 

I shot in black and white today because there was so little natural contrast in the light.  The world was more beautiful.  

I got to the rookery around 4 today and it was 34 degrees and you could see the water forming into droplets in the air.  When I got home the rain began.  I have no idea what it is doing now.

Today I shoot in black and

white to draw attention to the grays.

Three days before Christmas

when grays paint the world upon a canvas.

 

Today I paint in subtle oblong

forms, melting trapezoids

lining up in perforated memories

displayed across my prism  eyesight.

 

Today I color frequent

blues and purples dipped in

a toneless hue more gray.

My world sedate.

 

Today I need the world to know

handle me with care,

gray shadows the bruises while

my smile adjusts to camouflage.
