Maria usually makes her movies on Mondays, but we were thrown off by the holiday so she did her weekly video (she actually does a number of weekly videos) this morning. She wakes up thinking about the video – she is a visual artist, after all – and then goes over to the Ed Gulley bench on the back porch to edit and review it.
There is usually a cat or dog hovering around her, Maria is an animal magnet. They know where to go. I call this her Greta Garbo look, she is completely immersed in her movie and takes it very seriously. This morning, she caught me singing from the kitchen ) the “Minnie” song.
Maria loves making these movies, people love seeing them, the routinely gets several thousand hits on Facebook. Come and see Maria’s movie.
I have songs for my animals too. It was a sweet movie full of color and light. Thank you
Not sure I will see her video, but this is a great photo. The color contrast between the cushions and how the colors Maria was wearing matched the one on which she was sitting was perfect. Having read you for so long, I doubt it was staged, but that was one of your best ever, Jon.
I never stage photos, especially with Maria, thanks for the good words.
Sorry to belabor the point, but the more I view that pic, the more amazed I become. I notice something new the longer I examine. The pink in the flowers has just arrived to my eyes.
