The circle became smaller this season. Spring.

A new Spring window view that rarely changes.

My circle has become very small filled with stress and depression. I continue to make Art.

The staff here takes great care of me. On a first visit to my circle a respiratory therapist quipped ” I hear you have a chronic condition of constant creating of laugher.”

Layered Life. So my work continues as I work to escape this tiny circle. There is more art and emotion to make out there.

The professionals at St. Peter’s are the most caring compassionate staff I have encountered in my far to experienced study.

The past will become the present again.

peace my friends

Autumn in my small circle

10.20.2020 by Peter J. Crowley // 4 Comments

October 20th 2020. I have been seeing photos of fall in New England missing my home first sixty four years. There is foliage out here but not the same expansive waves of color. Around my block there are few hard wood trees. But many fall flowers in my 10 block world. Each day the same blocks seeking a highlight.

Childhood always a highlight!

Simple ground cover looking down to find a small world of color.

October’s Vibrancy resides in flowers, bushes and in my rectangle.

So much color for a B+W photographer. Seeing small with a desire to have the image printed very large.

Rain drops backlit on my lettuce.

At the outer edge of my waking world there is the silly walk zone.

October 20th the Pumpkin tree is ready to harvest. October 20th after the rain.

More shades of red October 17th jump forward from negative space. My yard fall flowers dance through negative space September 19th Vibrant I love vibrant September 19th. On the 19th of September the light was quite spectacular.

October 20th even a bit of color from a pine.

Winter skies filled with rain will limit my strolls. I will find other subjects to shoot.

peace

Moments Happen faster at 4 soon to be 5

Wednesday after school two little eyes peep through my mail slot laughing always laughing. The door opens and the fast fun begins with a run around laughing ending in my arms. Errands to run we head out to Costco entering a movie on a big screen TV. Like a moth to a flame she hones in “I have seen this movie before.” Mom goes to shop we watch Inside Out. She follows intently as the little girl finds her way home after considering running away. Relief from her parents she starts to cry. Inara pushes me over to the next TV watching very serious she begins to tear up with the girl. As the girl settles safely home she stops crying, a tear wiped from Inara’s she comes hugs me pulls me back for the rest of the movie. WOW

At this point she was a bat, a tired bat flying around Blue with me while mom shops.

Saturday out to shop to blue. I walk out to the car and as our custom I go to her window tap laugh and make a face. Once in the car she announces “I’m a wolverine.” What sound do you make. You must know each new personas voice. At Poppet where the dealing begins try these boots on she does and likes. But there are frogs she likes better. Another pair of boots I’ll try them on if I can have a frog? Inara it is almost Christmas we should put them on the list. Back and forth the negotiations continue. The list started Dec. 27th first trip to a store after Christmas. Quiet talks with mom we decide to get them for her but for Christmas. I will take her to the bakery for a cookie distraction. “But I really want a frog” now in full frog mood hoping around. We go for a cookie a settlement reached.

Bend don’t break Kissinger gets a smaller frog and a cookie.

Mom had the same eyes. New Haven 1973 already using the look to negotiate.
