Random Rambles

Robinson's Island on May 3,09
I love Robinson's Island because of its natural wild look. It is a very short drive from Brackley Beach. In the summer there are lots of Blue Heron to photograph of to the left as you walk down the trail to the beach. I have added two photos to show you what I love about changing seasons before I get into my copper installations. Just for fun!

Lot's of Blue Herons.

May 3, 09 and this is a close up of the same view. I was interested in the old wood/driftwood when I took this photo, but afterwords I thought of what an interesting color extreme from my previous summer photos. In a month or less here, there will be lots of green.This is the trail/path down to the beach at Robinson's Island on May 3, and now my photos for this weeks installation with my copper plates. I am in a random mood these days after so much organization while packing and disposing of stuff for our first stage move off the Island. The driftwood thrown up on shore was a perfect setting.
This may be a stretch for some folks but this reminds me of photos placed on a mantle or pump organ in an old home.

Before Photo
Another view of the installation at Robinson's Island.
When I placed my plates that I chucked into my knapsack this weekend I was not thinking about Mothers Day. Now when I look at the photos I notice that I placed the etched plate of my kids image in the middle of all the other plates. Being a Mom is the best thing in the world. Love ya Kids!!!!!!!!!! Also, before I left that evening I could not resist doing a quick installation with the sandstone on the beach.

The colors are so gorgeous!

The layers and texture in this sandstone and many more always make me want to photograph them. It is all about the "Art of Playing"

Plates are all packed and heading back to the city.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's in the World.
