My friend Lee Hastings  reminded me of happy memories associated with the Big Blue.....and i think it was in the back of my mind today when taking photos. Dedicated to a dear friend with much love.

Winter has returned with ice and snow and amazing transformations to the tree's thought the cycling from thaw to freeze in January is disturbing.

Two days of anomalous high temperatures and almost all the snow has gone. Taken on New Road Sempronius.

Today was an exceptionally misty day here in Sempronius. Raining and misty all day - a peek into the landscape.

Today was a fun and rewarding day in the studio working on the next piece from the Extinction Series. Still a work in progress.... but it grows.

It doesn't have a name yet but the elements are fusing - so far tree of life bearing fruit- love and also the tree is connected to the fungi represented around the roots protecting it and connecting it to the whole of the biosphere......

Every time I drive past this old barn the roof get's closer to falling in and the decay and lack of use is palpable and very sad. So much history and survival in hard times echo from the timbers.

I would love to see this old relic get's some love and new life...... but like so many  historical buildings ours is not a culture that tries to repair and renovate and restore but to abandon or to demolish these more pastoral barns.

I wish I could hear the stories they tell and that the timbers could talk.

NEW HOPE MILL FINGERLAKES NEW YORK

Today i took the boys out for a photo shoot at New Hope Mills as part of our homeschooling art lessons......Mostly because it was a great opportunity to take a load of photos and the weather was very snowy therefore I knew the results would be effective snow is such a great contrasting backdrop .... especially as Jye is just learning to use his new Nikon cool pix camera.

It was also a good opportunity for me to force myself to drive in inclement snowy weather.... and not let it put me off driving. As a western Australian in New York.... driving the boy's around in the snow is not something i have yet become easily accustomed to and it still is a bit of a challenge on very blowing snowy days.  But then..... now when i go out i don't exactly see a lot of vehicles on the road either..... seems everyone else is at home! Except for the truck drivers. Certainly there was no one stomping around the old Mill. It was a great opportunity to do some local area exploration and for the boys to have an experience they can connect some future historical information to for the rest of the week.
