50/365: here be monsteras
The split-leaf philodendron (monstera delicious) is having a moment. Suddenly, I’m seeing their unmistakable foliage everywhere I look. I had to seek one out so I could create my very own monstera picture and was lucky enough to find one tickling the ceiling of the MN Landscape Arboretum’s sunny conservatory.
51/365: send me dead flowers
I get that Rolling Stones song in my head every time I see a dried-up blossom. Truly, though, I think these roses got more lovely as they dried and shriveled. The colors deepened and the texture took on more character. I enjoyed them fully as they faded.
52/365: on the edge of see and through
There is this moment I love when the ice begins to thaw and the snow cover is gone. The lake begins to reflect the colors of the sky again. These colors makes me feel like I’m somewhere else, in some other subarctic landscape with a different view of the tundra sun.
53/365: old black water
As much as I’ve been entranced by the ice, the sight of open water inspires a giddy feeling. This once static, frozen creek is now gushing and gurgling with life and movement. It’s the way we all feel when we cast off our layers after a long winter and feel the breeze and sunlight on our skin once more. It has an exuberance and charm that is always refreshing.
54/365: it’s all too beautiful
Open water of an entirely different nature. This one actually took my breath away! In a burst of brilliant sunlight, the wind gusts blew across growing patches of open water on Lake Nokomis creating a wave patterns I don’t recall ever seeing before. Truly stunning.
55/365: fish out of water
Sometimes I can’t resist being really cheesy. Kind of like a goldfish cracker. All I could think when I spotted this one on the sidewalk was that it looked really out of place 🙂
56/365: metamorfluxus
We’re in the period of constant flux. 60 one day. 25 the next. The water performs a trembling dance between flow and refreeze, changing forms moment to moment.

You said it – Giddy – When the seasons begin to change. Love your images, Terra!
I know just how you felt about the roses………..I keep them for a long long time
Beautifully done. The picture of those waves, was unreal……..was that real Ha! Loved the little fish cracker, sometimes I feel like that cracker. Love the commentary… thanks!
Loved this grouping. It was saying, to me, I am left over fall, still winter , but spring is pushing in with the beautiful shot of the dancing blue waves.
Thanks for taking me on another visual journey with intriguing narratives! The contrast between the dark water and the amazing waves on the bright blue water is fun to study. When my sister was just 2, she used to think the monstera leaves in our house were stools, just for her! She was surprised every time her chubby butt hit the floor, so cute!
