Husband is traveling and, let me just say, times like these remind you that parenting a houseful is ideally a team sport. So am knee deep in taxi driving and answer keys. Bear with me.
After seeing all the typos in my last post I decided to just regale you with local scenery from my walks versus try to compose a coherent thought – which you know, can be a challenge on a good day lol.
German winters can be damp and gray which is a drag for a lot of people. But I truly love the texture and change in color in winter.
The stacks of tiles in the siding and the stacks of logs in the shed all seemed wonderfully geometric on this walk.
Like with wardrobe and home decorating and black and white photography, a (near) monochromatic scheme makes subtle patterns and textures really shine. Light and shadow become the principle players and it's all very exciting to me.
So exciting in fact I am noticing patterns all over. More to follow on that. Look around your world today. If you find something beautiful in the usual leave me a link. : )

Team sport for sure! I told my husband something similar when I was ever so happy to see him last night after a very long day.
Thanks for the inspiration. I am going to put my boots on, grab my camera and head out into the snow to “find something beautiful in the usual”. 🙂
Do post what you find Michele. I am so fascinated by what other people notice.
Hi Ms. Kim – Absolutely gorgeous, your photos are definitely “something beautiful”! Kim it has been an absolute delight to visit your blogspot. Its amazing to have had the opportunity to watch your photography skills blossom over the years. Especially loving your words, today. “Like with wardrobe and home decorating and black and white photography, a (near) monochromatic scheme makes subtle patterns and textures really shine.

I’m going to hold your words class as today I am working on picking the final colors for our homebuilding project on a snowy day in Bend, OR. Kim would you mind giving me your two cents on exterior paint colors for our modern/vintage style home. I would so appreciate your input. Let me know and I will send you an e-mail with a photo. Your fans from Colorado now Bend, OR, Kim, Matt, Lavyn and Spencer

Oh gasp! Now THAT sounds like an awesome project. Please send, Kim!! How exciting for you guys.
And thank you so much. I was just looking at the picture of Lavyn in the field all backlit in the rising sun. I am so glad I got to meet you before we both moved. : )
