Black blue indigo sky.
Smoke plumes,
ever so slightly
tilted, furl up
over the
village.
Along the river hoarfrost drapes the bushes, the trees. Like a thin white sheet of silk.
Hoarfrost rims my peripheral vision.
The black blue indigo sky becomes crystal clear blue of deep cold. Crystal clear blue of deep cold above the white of snow blanketing trees, ground and roofs.
Thin gauzes of pinkish,
purplish cross the blue.
My cell says -25 in Lake Placid, at home I read -12. I’ve been walking for 45 minutes!!!!

I was driving back up with Bob from Richmond Hill, GA. The Red Roof Inn in Harrisburg, PA was home for the night. The evening sky was glorious, full of high cumulus clouds wrapped in pinks and purples, everything freshly washed from a shower passing through. The Red Roof Inn has those smooth stones all around the hotel as decorative landscaping. We had just passed the sign for Fallingwater, the Frank Lloyd Wright home. Smooth stones shaped by falling water.

Whimsical, lively and meditative abstract images of beings, places and things.
In the velvet warmth of urban light
In the velvet warmth of urban light
It is the third warm evening of the year.
I taste, for the first time, french fries dipped in hot mustard.
Around us, voices weave, cross, touch, flutter, merge. They wrap around us like a cloak, a cloak of humanity.
We inhale the heat of broth, of mussels, garlic, white wine and tomatoes, rising up from our metal bowls.
We sit at our cafe tables on a street corner on a wide sidewalk.
We sit at our cafe tables, basking in the velvet warmth of urban light, green sky rising into twilight blue. Slight breezes of cool waft through.
Branches still bare, the maples and oaks, weave an arch above the intersecting street. The trees, many taller than the three-story brownstones they grow in front of, line both sides of the street, all the way to the end.
All the way to the end, to the utility lines, curved fine lines of soft reddish gold, curved fine lines of soft setting sun.
I am enchanted.

Peter and I visited with Deb and David at the north end of Lake George last Friday night. During my 7 am walk along the lake (after a lovely swim – lst and only one so far this season – rain – cool) I found these bullet cases/casings. And this morn. I created Landscape Thru Door and Landscape Thru Door Rubbed (below) with them.
I wish Deb and David would get their websites up: talk about wicked felt work from Deb and David’s pottery – whew!

Red Sunset, print, April 2009, Nadia Korths
In late April while in Montreal I watched the trees go from bare to neon green leafing buds. I created prints for two days. And then my treat was to enjoy the 3 day visit of two creatives, Sue and Terry Young, from Jay, NY.
Terry took a wonderful shot of the cantelope man from the Marche Jean Talon.
Look at his expression!
Sue, who has been working on a huge project with 2 other women, involving 900 children from 9 school districts in Clinton County, got a well-deserved break from it all in Montreal. The resulting mural celebrating the Lake Champlain Quadcentenial is made with tiles from each of those students (I am boggled by the work involved). It should be installed this month, June 2009, on the gov’t bldg in Plattsburgh.
