If you've never seen the photography of S. Etole you are missing out.
Her photography is stunning.
Her life story is pretty amazing as well.

Today she posted some lovely photos of fresh juniper.
I could almost smell the lovely scent as I looked at her pictures.
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I hope so.
I decided to photograph this little bottle that normally sits in my kitchen windowsill.
It holds a piece of juniper, gathered on last summer's vacation in central Oregon,
and a piece of eucalyptus from my Christmas greens.

I wish I had some fresh juniper to photograph.
The beauty of the silver pitcher and the texture of the basket S. Etole used in her photos
of the fresh juniper captures all that I love about simple still life.

I hope you enjoyed this little photo journey
and that you'll take a moment to visit S. Etole and tell her hi from me!

ReplyDeleteI hope to see some of your thoughts about your journey of JOY in 2014. I just posted about it (as JOY was my word, too), and in the looking back, I was once again surprised at how able God is to teach us wonderful things through difficult circumstances.
Looking forward to sharing the journey with you in 2015. We know, no matter what, God will be there with us!!
Happy New Year, and GOD BLESS!
I loved your post about how the word joy played out in your life in spite of the difficulties you faced.
DeleteYour little bit of juniper is so sweet! I love Susan's blog. I found her through you and I visit often. Thank you for sharing her - and yourself - with us.
