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.
