This is one of my favorite photographs. The element of surprise is often in play when taking pictures. This is a purple cabbage. I place them in my window boxes in the Fall. They are grown in a beautiful creamy, white, with the deep green leaves around the many layers of the cabbage to
frame them. And, of course, you have all seen them, there is the purple variety. The colors are so rich and the cabbages so hearty, that they have lasted well into February. This picture reminds me of an underwater plant. A rich seaweed, something that you might find in the Pacific, maybe in the waters near Hawaii. Maybe I just want to be in the waters near Hawaii right now. I love that you can take a picture of something we think we know, and there it is, 'surprise!', it looks like something else completely.....amazing. You can find this in my
Etsy shop!
The Pawtuxet River crested this morning at around 9AM. When I left the Village yesterday the River was at 17', and today when it crested it was close to 21'. These pictures show just how much worse the raging river was today. I was not able to get as close as I was yesterday, because the area had been cordoned off by the police...simply too dangerous. Notice that the first couple of docks have been swept away by the fierce current. Malls are underwater, highway 95 going south is closed, driving is a nightmare, our local supermarket is underwater. This is a very bad situation. Schools are closed and the damage is extensive. Please keep the good people of Rhode Island in your prayers.
