Happy weekend to you dear reader!

Irving Penn for Vogue

Studying and admiring flowers past their prime. As they start to wilt and fade a different kind of beauty sets in, one of age and time passed. They take a different shape and present another layer to their beauty, don't they?

QUEEN of the NIGHT / CEREUS FLOWER

found image by ? / Night Blooming Cereus

Are you familiar with the ceroid cacti that bloom at night? We have several in my neighborhood and I find them absolutely spellbinding. Some only bloom once a year, for one long anticipated night, while others are short lived. Can you imagine? What a gift!

FLOWERS of the NIGHT

Some recent shots from a night botanical studies series that I am researching for a shoot.  I was so pleasantly surprised by the light that the almost-full moon cast down upon her blooming night flora. More to come!

The Moon Lists / Leigh Patterson

I was really excited (and honored) to have been asked by (brilliant, wonderful, superb) Leigh Patterson to participate for the August portion of her newest personal project, The Moon Lists. I have decided to make Moon Lists for Elijah and myself every month now. A time-worthy project to sit down and reflect upon the time/moments passed from one full moon to the next. 

Much more here (lucky me to be featured along Julia Sherman's list too!) 

THANK YOU LEIGH X
