               June 15- July 11, 2021: Part III: Covid Photography
                           LITTLE BEAUTIES IN NATURE
(This was the third in a series of my Covid photography.)
During the Covid isolation I began to look at everything around us differently.  I discovered so much beauty in the little things that exist in nature. I noticed the small finches as they perched on a spring bough or munched on a tiny fall seed from a coneflower.  I became awestruck by the way a single new blossom or a tiny budding leaf looked as the sun shone behind them.  After a fresh spring rain, I found myself intrigued by a single raindrop balanced on the new growth of a rose leaf. When I visited a nearby pond, a smile came to my face as I saw twin tiny goslings experiencing their first swim together. Through these observations of growth and development in living things, contrasted with the state of the world during a pandemic, I was able to achieve a sense of peacefulness during a time of chaos.  I found myself thinking of the words once said by Walt Disney: “Happiness is a state of mind.  It’s just according to the way you look at things.”  A pandemic-stricken world is a strange place to be, but finding the bright spots, such as sweet tiny sights in nature, can make it just a bit more endurable, and gradually a new awakening takes place.

 COVID COOKING
(This was the second in a series of my Covid photography.)
 The Covid isolation forced me to take the time to see things differently. In Part 1, I exhibited images of various backyard birds that caught my eye during the pandemic.  During Part 2 I exhibited images related to cooking.  Prior to the pandemic, my husband and I enjoyed dining out as an experience.  Staying home forced me to rediscover many recipes that I had not used over the past several years.    As I started having fresh ingredients in the house, and as I arranged them on the table prior to cooking, I began to see some of the ingredients as possible subjects for my photography.  I started putting the ingredients together with some of my ceramic dishes.  Gradually, my Covid cooking started to look like art.  I pulled out an old scale and watched some magical images begin to emerge from the ingredients I use to make our family sauce recipe.  After I set a bunch of carrots with their flowing stems into a wine cooler, and saw the way the light was hitting a pear on the table, it opened up many possibilities for artistic images.   A pandemic-stricken world is a strange place to be, but finding the bright spots, such as ingredients for a favorite recipe, can make it just a bit more endurable, and suddenly a new type of dining experience can exist.

Backyard Birds
(This was the first in a series of my Covid photography.)

Though COVID isolation was not exactly a fun experience, it forced me to notice behavior exhibited by local birds that I never took the time to see before. When we began the isolation process, I decided that by pursuing what exists in the world around us, I would be able to continue to enjoy photography right in my backyard. For this series of images, I observed the behavior of the birds who visited on a regular basis.  In the winter I noticed how plump the American Robin became as he or she perched in various positions high in the trees while looking for ways to stay warm and searching for random berries. I never really noticed robins in the winter before.  The Black-capped Chickadees, regular visitors all year, were especially appealing when I viewed them during the twilight hour. Occasionally, they rested long enough for me to catch them in lovely poses.  In the spring I was delighted by the number of Baltimore Orioles who decided to feast on the oranges and grape jelly.  The Cardinal couples are always delightful to watch. However, by taking time to really observe them, I was especially intrigued with their behavior during the courting season, when they often gathered together to have what appeared to be very interesting discussions. The American Goldfinches are lovely birds, who frequent our yard in great numbers.  Usually, they flit around, quickly gathering their seeds before flying to the nearby trees.  I was particularly interested in one that I observed in the fall.  He found that it was especially enjoyable to rest on a rose bush and try out the rose petals.  A pandemic-stricken world is a strange place to be, but finding the bright spots, such as backyard birds, can make it just a bit more endurable.
