Day 210 / Water, Wood and Light

Yesterday was very busy.  Jenny got up at 7am and left to help our friends Jeff and Wendy with their 2nd Operation Art Gardens Cactus and Succulent sale.  It’s a sale and fundraiser that Jeff put together to help the arts at the public schools he teaches at.  He puts a lot of work into the preparations.  I did an interview with him on Day 028 at the first OAG sale which I also worked.
 
Today though was all about watching and entertaining June.  I initially thought that my parents would be able to help and I could steal away to work on my Harmonograph table but I found out that they were spending the weekend with some former neighbors in Palm Springs.
 
I watched June until about 3pm until Jenny got back and I was able to steal an hour nap.  Then, I was off to Burbank to cover a shoot.  The shoot went on until about 11:30.  I didn’t get back home until 12:30 in the morning.
 
I had no idea what I was going to do.  I went through ideas in my head as I drove home but I couldn’t come up with anything that I head energy for.  I thought I might open up an old jam and arrange it into a song like I did on Day 188 but even that seemed like too much work.
 
As I perused the internet looking for inspiration I caught sight of my soda on the coffee table.  It had condensation around the bottom of the cup and I noticed the light pattern being projected on the wood shelve below.  I thought is was quite pretty.  I began to mess with the water a bit, making shapes with it.
 
I started to snap some pictures of it.  If I was really being creative I would’ve gotten out my tripod and filmed some video of it because the movement was also quite beautiful.  Due to my level of exhaustion I opted for stills.

    I’m constantly amazing how you seem to pull these things effortlessly out of your hat. Kudos.

    Thanks guys! I felt really unsure about this post but once it was organized and put together I felt more comfortable with it. Rabbitears, too bad you couldn’t make it. I think Jeff will be having them more often because his accumulation of succulents has pretty much surpassed the amount a single day can sell. I’ll always post a reminder when they come along.
