The Upcoming Christo & Sparkle Delight
2025-11-19 11:00 UTC by Corey

Last summer, Yann and I took the two little pickles—our grandchildren—to the store and handed each of them ten whole euros. You’d think we’d given them the keys to the kingdom. We then proceeded to spend nearly two hours wandering the aisles while they made the most serious financial decisions of their young lives.

No tears, no...

Part Two of the Photo Shoot
2025-11-18 11:00 UTC by Corey

That particular morning we loaded the car/ objects, textiles, bits of inspiration, and the friends who said yes to spending a day chasing light with me.

and those who wait in silence,
waiting for borders to open,

2025-11-15 11:00 UTC by Corey

The hands of harvest-

The afternoon settled around the table piece by piece, without asking for attention.

Wheat shafts golden nearby, reminding me how the season gives even as it lets...

What Does a French Chicken Pen Look Like?
2025-11-14 21:11 UTC by Corey

On my daughter’s property there are a few old sheds, and they’ve decided to convert one of them into a chicken pen.


From the photo, you can see it needs quite a bit of work. Gabriel took on the task of clearing it out while Olivia supervised. They hope to be ready for four chickens—one egg for each of them.

Olivia wanted baby...
