I specifically chose to present this 365 project in blog format because I want to write about the images. This project is as much therapy -- giving me a kind place for my brain to go on dark days -- as it is an attempt to get my head back into photography, or maybe that's photography back into my head, as an indelible everyday part of how I move through the world.
Today has been a fairly tumultuous day, at the end of an incredibly long and difficult week. All kinds of hellfire is raining down on my head right now, and I'm struggling mightily to remain upright. So today's photo is a simple snapshot of my vegetable garden, because my garden is one place I find a bit of peace when my wheels are running off the road. Also because both powdery mildew and squash vine borers have afflicted my big, bounteous spaghetti squash plants, and I know they'll be kaput soon. So today's image is a little moment in time, my garden when it has just begun feeding us abundantly -- okra, eggplant, squash, greens, beans, cucumbers, the first tomatoes. Something simple to be simply grateful for when life anything but simple.
