June begins with sun and heat as I start to photograph and write. Embarking on this series of twenty-one images, I have a sense of direction and a definition of boundaries, but also an allowance to take advantage of the uncertainties that occur as I move between the natural world and the one I am imagining.
Last June, when I planted needle-sized leek seedlings, I never thought they would survive the winter snows and bloom with such robust exuberance.
"It is not unusual to begin something--a book, a painting, a pot, a walk, a recipe, a relationship,a marriage, any enterprise of the mind or heart--in a state of uncertainty. But I wonder now if something like uncertainty isn't also a good place to end up."

So happy to see you posting again. Love the vase -- and the leeks -- & the uncertainty presented by the leeks -- full in the vase opening & the vase's teetering stability . . . . .
What exquisite lines, Catherine. Thank you for such an inspiring image.
