It's been a strangely long winter. And we've had a lot of snow, which, in fact, is the ideal background for compost. Pruned houseplants, torn newspapers, & banana peals can make a person's day. My friend who runs the local landfill says that snow can hide many sins. It can also make the edge of an avocado peal or the crust of stale bread come to life. I was curious what images I had created in past winters. This was the only Compost Composition I saved from February 2016. Doesn't the gray blue dryer lint look cool with the cilantro and rainbow chard stems, banana peels & snow? These
orange rinds, Sodoku & snow with, it seems, more dryer lint, feel cheerful & strangely innocent. When I created this in February of last year, I had no idea what lay ahead, nor how grateful I would be for quiet and beautiful moments with compost and my camera. Comments are closed.
