Summer Silhouette
Posted in Fabulous Finds, tagged art, Design, meghan gerety, natural art, silhouettes on June 25, 2008| 1 Comment »
“Art” can be created by the most unlikely composition of objects and displayed in a very unusual manner. Who would suspect that an outdoor spot light, a passing car and a tree could generate a wonderful, yet ephemeral artistic silhouette.
When I happened upon the work of Meghan Gerety, I immediately thought of summer nights lounging in our yard. The back of the our house becomes a canvas for our Ash tree to be illuminated by a neighbor’s security spot light each time a a car passes by. Perhaps it is the intermittent timing of the light and the fleeting visual display that makes me appreciate the simplicity and beauty of my backyard “art gallery” every summer. Enjoy HH

The final bell has rung and the familiar afternoon rumblings of Bus 6 will soon be a distant memory. The girls are finally home and full of excitement as they begin their summer vacation!
Aahh yes, a summer of swim team, reading, golf lessons, play time and a few school camps will fill their days. Quite the idyllic life for a 6 and 7 year old.
Adjustments must be made to my daily routine as I will now have my two young side-kicks at home, creating their own version of the perfect summer vacation. Their “creativity” never ceases to amaze me (or at times incense me). I look forward to what they have in store for me!
I must remember that patience, flexibility, central air, a nice chardonnay and of course, lots of love, will make this quite a lovely summer. Enjoy HH
