I took a little birding trip up into the San Jacinto Mountains a couple of days ago. I spent some time hiking around Lake Fulmor, a small mountain lake at about 5400 feet elevation. I hadn't been there for several years (the road up was closed for a couple of years to repair extensive damage from heavy rains one winter). It was so great being in the mountains--it was fairly birdy, with lots of butterflies and some dragonflies. It just reopened recently, and it was just the break I needed after being at home way too much! 6/20/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
A few years ago I was given this very fancy and elaborate teapot. I must admit it is a bit frou-frou for my taste, so I don't really use it, except once a year for the annual teaparty we hold at the art gallery where I work. It did occur to me that at some point I should photograph it, " just because". So, what better time than while being sheltered at home? 5/1/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
This is a photograph of a collage I created a few years ago. For over 25 years I taught a creativity workshop. One of the assignments I gave my students was to make a collage from a collection of found images--either a dream board, or things they wished to see or do, or even just things they liked. While I was organizing my art room, I started looking at the many collages I had made for my classes. I realized I really still like them, and began photographing bits and pieces of them. This is a corner of one of those collages. It was fun looking back... 4/30/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
